First off you need to find out how much free space you have on C: drive. If there is indeed insufficient disk space (anything under 100 megs could do it)then you need to clean up your hard drive. If there is plenty of disk space (Over 200) then there is something else wrong there.

Make sure you're trying to create a SHORTCUT, and not copy the entire file over. The best way to do it is to right-click and drag the icon, then select "Create Shortcut" when the menu pops up. Otherwise, you may be trying to copy the entire program, which could be large. Also, this is probably indicative of a greater problem...free up some disk space. Otherwise, you'll soon find yourself choked anyway.
