Barbara,

You can cut down all of the minimizing and dragging by installing the "Send
To" function found in the Power Toys for Win 95,98, NT.  After installing
the "Send To" Power Toy you can right click and then just select send to
from the menu and select where you would like to send the files, which can
be anywhere, even across a network.  The files can be found on the NOSPIN
site Under Files then downloads:
