One of the many ways to save files while working on the Library workstations is to use a recordable or rewriteable CD. Windows XP comes with the "Drag-and-Drop" option for recording CD's. To write a file to a CD, please follow these steps:
1) Open up Windows Explorer (by clicking on the My Computer shortcut on the desktop) and then navigate to the CD drive.
2) Using your mouse, drag the file you wish to save to the CD folder in Windows Explorer (in this example a text file named "write_to_cd.txt" is used):
3) Once you have moved the file(s) to be saved to the CD folder, you
will see the following message inside the folder: "Files Ready to be Written to
the CD".
IMPORTANT: Please NOTE that at this point you are NOT
done writing your data to the the CD:
4) Right-click anywhere on the white space (but not on a file) inside the CD folder under "Files Ready to Be Written to the CD" and choose Write these files to CD from the dialog menu:
5) The CD Writing Wizard will come up, prompting you to choose a name for you CD. Follow the Wizard's help screens to finish saving your data. At the end, given that your data has been saved successfully, you should see your newly saved file(s) among the files listed under "Files Currently on the CD":
