I've got a question that I have not had much luck with getting an answer. I am trying to find out how to transfer digital pictures that are on my computer to a Compact Flash card so I can take them to a store and have them printed out. Googling has not provided any useful info.

Does your camera have a USB or firewire interface? If it does, connect it, let XP autodetect it as a removable drive, and drag'n'drop files over.
Alternatively, many stores will take files from a CD-ROM, so there's another potential option.

The camera is a Canon A75. Yes it connects with a USB connector. I did try dragging files from the computer to the camera; it didn't do anything. I'd prefer to use the memory card to transfer the pictures, but if I can't figure it out, I may well have to use the CD method.
I think most cameras only allow one way traffic; reads only, you can't use it like a memory card reader, only as storage for you photos taken from your camera. It's probably the way the interface is designed, however I don't have a camera to test that theory on.
If you don't want to resort to burning them to CD, grab a memory card reader for your PC, they should only be $20 or so. A good investment if you are planning on doing it regularly.
