Depends on what software you use but it should be decrypted to wherever the applications default directory is.  I use DVD Shrink and you can customize it and use a directory of your choosing.  It also uses nero so once it's done encrypting, it will automatically start burning it if you want.

Put the files into a zip, ace, rar, or tar archive and password protect the archive then place that on the floppy or cd.

You could use DVD Shrink and compress the disk (it creates input files on your hard disk) plus it removes the Copy Protection Error found on the Disk plus if you specify what country it was originally intended for, the program removes the RCE Protection.(Regional Coding Enhancement)

This happens alot with many games that utilized SafeDisc 2 copy protection...it is a pain in the arse but there is no easy work around (if this is what you have described)

no you can't, when it is installed files aren't just copied into one folder - they are placed all over the hard drive.\n\nplus there are entries written into the registry too.\n\nyou really can't copy ANY installed program to another computer OR onto a disc. you need to re-install from the original source.

You need to copy not the contents but an "image" of the original cd.\nA freeware program like "burn4free" will do this. D/load from\nhttp://www.burn4free.com/\n\nHowever if you dont want to do the above, you can just copy the original cd contents to another CD..there is always a "setup" file which if, when you explore the CD contents, you click on this file, it will install all the contents automatically....the trick is to recognise the main set-up/install file when you see it as sometimes there are more than one setup files on the CD.\nHope this helps
