Copying files from my Compaq to a CD??

I am trying to copy some files (images) from my Compaq Computer to a CD. The computer usually copies these to some kind of temporary folder, and then from that folder to the CD. A bubble with text usually appears after copying to the temp folder. Clicking on that bubble takes you into the temp folder, and then you give the command to copy to the CD. But I just copied a large number of images to the temp folder, and the bubble did not appear. Now I don't know how to access the temp folder to start the actual transfer to the CD. Can you help? Thanks.

    I think I understand. It may be the type of CD you are using. Make sure that it is blank and that it is meant to hold image files. If that is not the case you could try putting it on a flashdrive instead. That would be easier. Also, instead of having it copy to the temp. folder, change the default to another folder. Hope these ideas help!

    Try opening My Computer (or Computer). Double-click your cd/dvd drive. See if it says there are files waiting to be written. If so, see if they're what you want, and do the burn.
