how do i import only updated files from cd-rw
bump
-----Original Message----- i am transferring files from my desktop to my laptop. I burned my word, excel, and image files form my desktop to a cd-rw. I now would like to burn those files onto my laptop hardrive. Since i've done this before and recently, i would like to only copy the updated and modified files from the cd to the laptop drive. I don't want to answer the prompt that pops up when the file already exists. My Roxio cd burner software was able to burn only the files fom my desktop to the cd-rw that have been changed and modified. Can windows do the same when I take the files from the cd to the laptop. . |

You might want to consider using WinZip instead of just copying the files directly to your cdrw. Besides compressing the files so that you could store more on the cdrw and having only one file to copy onto it, you can use some of the features of WinZip when you extract files from the archive onto your laptop to do exactly what you want. Between the "Overwrite existing files" and "Skip older files" options, you should be fine I would think. -craig |
