And if you use Desktop Icon Properties & click Find Target I guess it does the same as clicking Desktop Icon.?
You could also check "Start in" box & Target type ( I assume Application)
I did make a new icon for the desktop...it does the same thing. First a "Windows Installer" notice says preparing to install....then a pop up says "Easy CD Creator" needs the CD inserted...blah, blah... If I cancel all of those pop ups several times, the Image Expert program finally starts loading.

Not even the Image Expert. How weird is that?? If I do it from the Start menu it works, but not the desktop icon. Since I got my Premium edition of Image Expert from Dell's website I don't have the CD for it.
You said you "don't have the CD for it" but it is asking for "Easy CD Creator" not "Image Expert" according to you.
Do you have "Easy CD Creator" on your computer & therefor its CD.

Don't understand .?
You said it asked for "Easy CD Creator" CD who said it was going to Install "Image Expert" anyway. ?
I assume it was going to check for "Easy CD Creator" CD. which is what ROXIO upgrade doesn't if you know have ROXIO Basic installed already.
Not Important.
JRosenfeld: I tried copying the icon from the Start menu and the same thing happens. When I click on the icon a Windows Installer window appears saying preparing to install. Which should not be necessary since it is installed. Then it immediately adds a window entitled "Easy CD & DVD Creator 6" which says: "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available." Then says: "Insert 'Easy CD DVD Creator 6 disk & click O.K. Use feature from....................... and Browse."
If I ignore these install windows (since I'm not needing to install) and just click "Cancel" on all of them, they keep coming back until I've cancelled several times. Then the Dell Image Expert program just starts like it should in the first place!
My point is....The Easy CD program has nothing to do with the Image Expert program. Dell Image Expert is a Jasc product and Easy CD Creator is Roxio. Something that happened in my XP Repair Reinstallation did this. It looks like I'll have to remove Image Expert and reinstall it. I do have the disk, I didn't think I did.
