If I have formatted a CD-RW disc with Drag-to-Disc, can I work directly from that disc; opening documents on the disc, making changes, then saving back to the same disc?

In theory, a Drag-to-Disc UDF-formatted CD-RW disc should be usable just like a giant floppy or other rewritable volume, supporting direct use from within desktop applications. And, most of the time this does work flawlessly in practice. However, working directly from within applications can occasionally produce errors and corrupt files. To be safe, it is still advisable to save important data to a local drive, then move it to a CD-RW disc from the Windows Explorer.
