How can I force an application normally on a CD to point to the copy of the CD on my harddrive when I launch the application

I have an application that I need to use more and more often. I have to pull the CD/DVD out to launch the application.

What is the best way to set up the shortcut (already installed on the machine) to point to files copied from the CD.........is it that you just

1. Copy all the files to the harddrive
2. Then point the shortcut file located in the location of the same exe file on the harddrive.

Is that all there is to it?

The application is actually
Kiplinger's Complete Legal Pro Small Business Attorney. I do not know if this helps.
I am surprised as it looks like the CD is only 30 mb in size.

I have other programs that I will be doing this to however this was the first one I wanted to experiment with as it holds legal documentation for my business.

Thank you all for your input.
