Paul, there's a nice simple toolbar for imageburn here: [ImgBurn Toolbar). It either opens the main program or (more usefully) will burn selected folders and files. It's a very good program and free. I've noticed from comments that quite a few people on the forum use it.
There's also a link here for buttons to deal with the CD tray:

I've found these meet my needs well without having to deal with Nero
