Burning Photos to CD

[Guest]

In "My Pictures" folder, I do not have the option of "Burn to CD" under
"Picture Tasks". I was able to burn photos to CD, but I had to select "copy
files" under "Files and folders" and then select my D Drive as the
destination. Can someone please let me know why I don't have the "Burn to
CD" option and how I can fix it. Thanks.

I do not have that exact function either (Burn to CD).

But, because I have Roxio's "Drag to Disk" (part of CD-DVD Creator)
installed, I can right click on a photo, choose "send to" and then direct
the file to "drag to disk". The file will be copied to the CD in the tray.

Well, I don't have that option either, what makes you think you should
have it?

pictures are just files, you can burn them to a cd like any other file.

if what you would like to do is make a special cd, one that will play a
slideshow of the pictures that it contains when inserted on someone's
machine, then what you need/want is the CD Slide Show Generator PowerToy:

check out the other powertoys too while you're there...

It's Copy to CD and Recording must be enabled. Right click the drive, Properties, Recording.

Yes, you are correct. It is "Copy to CD". However, Recording is already
Enabled on my D Drive. The option, "copy to CD" still does not appear under
picture tasks in the My Pictures folder when I select photos I want to burn
to CD.

It is "Copy to CD", not "Burn to CD". Sorry, I made a mistake. However, the
digital photo instructions listed at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/printit/archive.mspx

show the Picture Tasks options clearly having "Copy to CD" as an option. I
don't have this option and I was wondering why.

Try "send to."

try re-registering the Picture and Fax Viewer, see if that brings back the
option:

Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

?? Do you have the Shell Hardware Detection Service running?
?? Do you have "recording" enabled for at least one of your R/W drives,
and is the IMAPI Serivice running?

FWIW, I checked all these things on my system, and I don't have that
option in Folder Tasks either. Never missed it tho...

good luck

The "Send To" list includes a number of programs, but not the D Drive.

<Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll--did this, no change

<Do you have the Shell Hardware Detection Service running?----Sorry, don't
know what this is....??

<Do you have "recording" enabled for at least one of your R/W drives.---- Yes

<and is the IMAPI Serivice running?---Don't know what this is either.

Really, I can burn the pictures to my D Drive, but I was just wondering why
the digital picture instructions on the Microsoft site show an option under
Picture Tasks that I don't have. Since you don't have the "Copy to CD"
option either, maybe the instructions I looked at (even tho they are from
Microsoft) are faulty.

How do you know recording is enabled?

You can open the "send to folder" (it is hidden) and add
drives, etc.
