 - Microsoft PhotoDraw, version 2000

SUMMARY
=======
 
To complete a task, PhotoDraw will prompt you to insert Disc when
templates, brushes, or other components need to be copied. You can avoid
these messages and complete your projects quicker by copying the contents
of Disc 2 to the hard disk drive and then using that hard disk drive
location to copy component information from.
 
This article describes what you will need to do to accomplish this.
 
NOTE: Copying the Disc 2 content on to your hard drive requires a minimum
free space of 425 MB on the destination drive. If you are using the
\\windows drive as the destination drive, it is recommended to have a
minimum of 200 MB of free space available after copying for optimal system
performance.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
To copy the contents from the CD-ROM to your hard drive, follow these
steps:
 
1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and click Windows
   Explorer.
 
2. In the left pane, with Disc 2 in the CD-ROM drive, double-click the
   CD-ROM drive to display the contents of the compact disc.
 
3. Drag the PhotoDraw folder from the right pane to the drive that you want
   to place the content on.  This will copy the contents to your hard disk
   drive.
 
4. Close Windows Explorer.
 
To use the contents of the hard disk drive, follow these steps:
 
1. Start PhotoDraw 2000.
 
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
 
3. In the Options dialog, click the File Locations tab.
 
4. In the bottom half of the window is a field for the location of the
   contents of Disc 2.  Type the drive letter of the destination drive that
   you copied the PhotoDraw folder to.
 
   NOTE: Only the drive letter is needed. If you specify the full path to
   the folder, or if you rename the folder, you will receive the following
   error "The directory for PhotoDraw - Disc 2 is invalid. Please specify a
   valid directory."
 
5. Click to clear the "Prompt to insert PhotoDraw - Disc 2" check box
   and click OK.
