Saving data files to a CD

[Guest]

I saved about 150 Word, Excel, and PDF files to a CD per the instructions in
my Help and Support Center. I first marked all the files in My Documents
folder I wanted to backup and then hit copy in the dialog box per the
instructions. Then I went to (opened) the "E" drive (where I had inserted a
blank CD) and hit copy to the CD. The files were copied to the CD but when I
went back to My Documents folder, there 29 copies each of all the files I had
marked to save to the CD. What did I do wrong and how do I correct the
problem? How do I get rid of all those 29X150 copies in My Documents folder?
I tried Restore but the copies were still there.

Hi,

At some point during the process when you had all the files selected, you
dragged them slightly. This creates the "copy of...." files you now see.
Deleting them is a pain, but you should be able to simply drag around the
group if you sort them by name.

In your folder, change the View to Details View. Then click the Name column
to sort by name. This should put all of the files with "Copy of ..." in a
group. Then you can select these and delete.
