This is silly. Why is discussing how to give more/better instructions
for creating a Linux installation disk on Windows trolling?! You have
to assume that potential first-time Linux users, who don't have a
Linux-using friend who can/wants to help, are going to want to do so
and that they might want to use a flash disk rather than a CD/DVD.
If I had a non-work-supplied-totally-locked-down Windows installation,
I'd try the Ubuntu solution for Debian (that application looked like
it had a drop-down menu with a list of distributions) and suggest some
changes to the "burn an ISO on Windows" page of the Debian
documentation.
