Copying Files

[Guest]

I successfully copied Excel files to CD-RW but Windows also recopied them to
C drive. When I tried to delete the extra copies, it recopied them again and
when I open Excel it copies yet more. I'm now on copy 165 of copy of copy of
copy of each one. Seems to be on a loop. Shutting down doesn't help. Help!

Are you trying to delete them by mouse? Try to use Delete button on keyboard.
Select files that you want to delete and press delete button.

Hi,

It's because you are dragging the cursor while the copies are selected. You
need to try to avoid this. In the meantime, open Windows Explorer to the
folder containing the copies, click edit/select all/file/delete to rid
yourself of them.
