    Hi,
    When I go to My Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\Send To\File\New\shortcut I am then prompted to create the shortcut......

    My problem is I want to add my writable DVD Drive (I:) and my writeable CD Drive (J:) to the send to options........

    However, no matter how I type the Drive letter(s) in the 'create shortcut' description I get a invalid file message....:confused:

    This is probably basic but I just cant figure how to end up adding these drives to my send to options....or is it just not possible to do?:(

    Instead of trying to create the shortcut 'manually'... open Windows Explorer and 'drag' your DVD drive into the 'Send to' folder. This will create a shortcut. Repeat for your CD drive. You can 'rename' the shortcuts in the 'Send to' folder afterwards if you like. HTH

    B :cool:
