Viewing the contents of a CD or DVD

CDs and DVDs contain files just like diskettes and the hard disk. CDs are often used to install software or store files that require lots of space, such as photographs and large presentation files. You can use Explorer or My Computer to view the contents of any CD or DVD.

For each installed audio CD title, the hard disk stores a small program that displays the CD’s icon. It does not store the CD’s content. To view the contents of an audio CD:

1Place the disc in the drive.

2Click Start, then point to Programs.

3Locate the folder that contains the compact disc icon and title.

4Click the icon.

If you click the icon without having the compact disc in the drive, Windows prompts you to insert the disc.
