Which indicates that you have move the files elsewhere, in this case inadvertently to the desktop. See below. > When I checked my burn folder in list view, all the files were > listed as "alias". I burned a cd which seems fine. Correct, the files should appear of an alias in your burn folder. > The only thing my hand touched was the mouse, not a single key. > when I discovered that photos had been removed from the "film > strip", it was always because when I dropped it, the thing seemed > to be stuck on top of the burn folder.

You have physically moved the file from bridge to the "desktop" instead of into the burn folder. Moving the file back into bridge simply reversed, or corrected the movement. You simply stacked the file icon on top of the burn folder icon. Click on the Desktop then in Finder/View/View Options, or CMD + J, you may select how the desktop icons are organized. I use Arrange by Kind, though a simple snap to grid setting will keep the icons separated...jf -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
