First, create a shortcut to your drive on the desktop following these steps:

1. Double-click on My Computer
2. Drag the icon of your removable disk to the desktop
3. When you let go of the mouse, the computer will inform you that you can't move the item there, but would you like to create a shortcut...answer 'yes'

Now that you have the icon for you drive in place, you can simply drag and drop files or folders right to this icon for quick and easy copying!

The new desktop drive icon is also a great way to read what's on a zip or CD disk.

Although I keep referring to zip disks and CD's, this technique can be used with floppy disks and flash drives as well.
