Sorry you feel that way, David. I thought I was specific enough
for the MVPs without stretching the details way out. The
actual mail folder is buried seven layers deep and I didn't
want to burden people with it. Meanwhile, Perth or Adelaide
notwithstanding, people understood the problem and offered
advice and work-arounds. The basic question I asked later
hasn't been answered: In XP-SP1 I could highlight and copy
a folder, then paste it to the CD-RW drive, and burn the CD.
Same technique doesn't work with SP2, at least not for me, ergo
my question.
