Hey Yves-what if one opens the right clicked 'devices with removeable storage' and there is no recording tab? Give us something we can use to get this tab to show up.

Try to copy using the procedure below, regardless of the not having a
recording tab.
Before you try, do the following to make sure that the "Copy to CD" command
will be present when you select the photos you want to copy.
Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...

Then use the steps below to copy to the CD. Let us know if this works.

1.. Insert a blank CD-R into your CD drive. Wait about 15-20 seconds for
XP to recognize that a CD-R has been inserted. A window will open, with a
variety of options in it. You don't need any of the options in this window
to copy to a CD-R. There is a Cancel button at the bottom of this window.
Click on it to close this window. If this window does not open, this is fine
just go to step 2.
2.. Click on My Computer and navigate to the folder where your pictures
are located. Open the folder so you can see the files you want to copy.
3.. You now need to select the files you want to copy. Do you want to copy
all the files in the folder? If so, hold the Ctrl key down and press the
letter A. This will select (highlight in blue) all the files in the folder.
If you want to select only some of the files, click on the first file you
want to select. Remove your finger from your mouse, hold the Ctrl key down
and click on the second file you want to select. Continue doing this until
all the files you want to copy are selected. Each time a file is selected it
will be highlighted in blue. If the files you want to select are listed in a
row, you can do it this way. Click on the first file, remove your finger
from the mouse. Hold the Shift key down and click on the last file you want.
All the files between the first and last file you clicked on will be
highlighted in blue.
4.. Once you have selected the files you want to copy, look at the menu on
the left of the selected files. The top menu should be "Picture Tasks". The
last item listed under "Picture Tasks" is "Copy to CD". Click on it. The
other way is to right click on one of the selected pictures. A menu will
open. Click on Send To. Click on your CD drive on the opening list.
5.. The copying process will start (a small window opening at the top of
your screen indicating the progress, wait until completed, also you may not
see this window if you are copying just a few files because the operation is
too fast) and you will get a message, right hand corner bottom of your
screen, "You have files waiting." Click on it.
6.. A window will open. It will show you the photo files you just selected
to copy. Look at the menu on the left and click on "Write these files to CD"
..
7.. A Wizard box will open. Just follow the directions on the screen to
complete the job.
8.. Once you have copied the photos to the CD you may want to copy more to
it in the future. Just insert it instead of inserting a blank CD and follow
the same directions. Just make sure you have enough space on it to add more
photo files. A CD will hold 700 MB but with photo files, don't try to fill
it. Limit to about 200 - 300 photo files per CD. Otherwise it can take a
long time to open this CD to view the files, but if you don't mind the time
you can fill it.

Yves, thanks for the reply. I still get the same end result. When I right click to go to drive E, I get "E:\ is not accessible
Incorrect Function" When I click on 'copy to cd ' under "Picture Tasks", a small window opens with three options--Copy Here; Move Here; Create Shortcut Here. When I click on one of these nothing happens, window just closes. I talked to a co-worked and she said I need to go thru Roxio to get My Pictures to recognize the CD drive. Tried that, without sucess.
Will continue journey. Any input greatly appreciated

Roxio will worked fine but you need version 5.3 or higher. Otherwise it will
prevent XP to work. It may be you have an older version of Roxio on your
computer.
