Whenever i go to put pictures onto a Cd from "my pictures" under picture tasks, i get a little window that says
-copy here
-move here
-create shortcuts here
-cancel
now what the heck does that mean, also when i click on create shortcuts it says "missing shortcut" how do i change the shortcut so that way it goes to the right drive. Please help if you can!!!! i need it alot! thanks!
 
Hi Danielle,

Do not use the "create shortcut" for that task. A shortcut is nothing more
than a quick link to the actual location of a file, folder, or network
point. It is part of the explorer shell commands, so that is why it shows up
there, but you would want to use the "copy here" option.

You put files on a CD, not shortcuts to files that are stored elsewhere.

Yes i know but no matter which one i push whether its copy here, move here or whatever nothing happens and i am so confused. I tried it at my friends house who has the exact same thing as me and when you press copy all files to cd it just starts copying to the cd.
