Thanks for that information. I have been searching for a reason to use Nero
instead of XP drag and drop. And I also learned from you guys that InCD is
a part of Nero. I didn't have a clue what that was on my task bar for or
how to use it. Well, still don't but I am better off than before I knew it
was a part of Nero. :-)
