"Click on MS-DOS Prompt from the Windows Start menu.
At the "C:\windows" prompt type "CD\" and hit enter
Type "MD photos" and enter to make a directory for your photos
Type "CD photos" to move to that directory
Place the CD in your drive (we are assuming it is the "D:" drive, substitute the appropriate letter if not)
Type "XCOPY D:*.*" and enter to copy all of the files from the CD into your photos directory
Type "EXIT" to end the MS-DOS session"

Eewwwww, DOS!!!! Man, that's ugly! ;o)

BTW ... did you know that DOS stands for Dirty Operating System?

And yet, I am convinced that if I type that it will actually copy the files. I don't need to see the files flying from folder to folder. Just do it. ;-)

It's one of my talents that so impressed my wife-to-be. I could sit down and type stuff and make things happen on her PC. Helped her install DOS WordPerfect she borrowed from work.
