Like it says, I have a large number of files I need to store somewhere other
than on the hard drive, so how do I get to copy them to a cd?

I have tried but they don't seem to finish on the cd.

Outlook Express files? DBX files? Why exactly?

A CD-R only has a 700MB capacity. How large are the files?

So these are messages currently in OE? Copy the messages. You won't be
able to read the files.

Create a folder on your Desktop, then in Outlook Express open the folder
with the messages you want to save. Highlight one message, then Ctrl+A
will highlight them all, (or hold the Ctrl button down while you select
only the messages you want), Now, drag and drop them to the folder on your
Desktop.

Now you can copy that folder to a CD and you will be able to read the
messages on the CD by double-clicking on them.

You may find that messages with the same subject get appended, probably
with (1), (2), etc. One of these programs may be of use to you. Have a
look and decide.

"Word letters" as in OE email messages (EML files or messages in your OE
folders) or Word messages (DOC files)?

You get a program like Nero (as an example)and once installed into your Windows 95
machine you then pick up a CD from the pack or the table and you insert it into
your CD\RW drive and let her rip

It would really be helpful if you can clearly explain what you would like to do and
which files you are talking about.
