My holding area is gone!

In the past, when I wanted to copy a file or folder to my CD drive, I simply
left clicked on the file or folder, selected "send to" and then selected the
CD drive, after which a "holding area" would pop up with my files waiting to
be written to the CD drive. My CD drive location is no longer a choice on the
popup menu that follows "send to" and while the files are still copied to the
proper drive, I no longer see the "holding area." Is there any way I can
restore the "holding area" and my CD drive as a choice on the popup menu?
Thanks.

Wes and Ramesh,

Thanks guys. With your helpful tips, I've got things back to "normal", if
anything on a computer can be called "normal." Oh, by the way, Wes, no, I am
not the "Loanarranger" you referred to. I used to be in real estate in Texas,
and I heard the phrase "loan arranger" once, and thought it would sound good
as a nick. Sorry. Again, fellas, thanks!
