Copy the projects directory from the CD to your computer. Please note, newer operating systems are restricting write permissions to files within your Program Files directory where you most likely installed BlueJ. Create another directory in a different location (outside of Program Files) to store the Java solutions you create, as well as these the textbook examples.
