Copying Pictures to a CD

Thank You, David B., for your helpful advice.
When I selected View thumbnail, it worked correctly.

However, it created another problem.

The views of the thumbnail pics are only ghost images of the real Pics.
And there is a downward pointing arrow in the lower left hand corner of each
pics.

And, at the top left corner of the opened CD, it reads:
These files are ready to be written to a CD.

All of this shows up on the new CD that I just "burned."

What did I do wrong?
How do I get rid of the ghost images and show real thumbnail pics?
How do I get rid of the statement: These files are ready to be written to a
CD?

David B., I will appreciate your further help to this novice.

Thank You,

What you are seeing is the cached files to burn to the CD, not the files on
the CD.
see http://www.valdosta.edu/helpdesk/guides/windows/burncd/
If you did actually burn them it seems XP didn't clear them for some reason,
click the "delete temporary files" link on the left to clear them, and then
try to view the CD contents in Explorer.
