Win 98 Copying Cd ROM it locks up

[jorj]

I used Toast to burn a CD with a bunch of pdf files.<br>The CD runs fine if you work off the CD.<br>Here's the problem - When the Toast created the CD it add a file caled &quot;icon&quot; in several directories and while this does not hamper looking at the Acrobat files from the CD it is a problem when you go to copy the CD to the hard drive.&nbsp;&nbsp;It begins copying fine but when it gets to the icon file it stops and there is no way to go on (that I can see).<br>Yet, when trying to copy the same CD to a Windows 95 platform, it's fine.. seems to ignore these icon files and copies all other files to the hard drive.<br><br>Is there a preference in Win 98 that can be adjusted to ignore these garbage files?

could just do a bunch of dos commands and only copy what you want like all *.pdf <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=

Who don't even know what does is! Never mind that thet would first have to create folder, then copy the files to the right folders.<br>Is there a macro that could be written to do all this???

A simple way would be to use find and search the cdrom for *.pdf. When it finds them all, copy them from the find window to where ever you want them.<br><br>As far as dos commands go it would be trivial to make a batch file to do the job. although I am not sure that the copy command will search the cdrom recursively (I am on NT right now and there is not flag that indicates this).<br><br>;start of batch file<br>mkdir c:\acrobat<br>copy d:\*.pdf c:\acrobat\<br>;end of batch file<br><br>As I said I don't have my win98 box here and I can't verify that the copy command will do this.... I wrote a java program to do this <br> <p>Troy Williams B.Eng.<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
