The folder for the "Send To" items is here:-

C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\SendTo

You need to create a shortcut in there for the CD drive but just
dragging the CD icon from My Computer and creating a shortcut that way
will not usually work.

Go to blank area of desktop, right click and select:-

New -> Shortut

A new window comes up asking you to "type the location of the item".
In the box enter:-

C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,x:\

For the "x" above replace it with whatever drive letter you want. EG
for D: Drive use:-

C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,d:\

Click next.

Now it asks for a name for the shortcut. Name it what you want, eg

"CD DRIVE"

Click Finish.

Now drag that new shortcut into your "Send To" folder.
