you don't. the only way is to find out what the filename was and copy
it to your filesystem and rename it. most win32 burning software does
not handle UNIX filenames correctly. To burn a CD typically you need
to use the ISO9660+ROCKRIDGE extensions. I have yet to see a win32 program
which can handle this. Though I haven't seriously burned anything in win32
since 1997 or so, so the situation may of changed.
