Adding Captions

I want to label a lot of photos that I have on the computer. I got to the paint site, downloaded an image, and then couldn't get the text to stay in place.

Can’t Read CD
I'm pulling together photos to enter a photo contest and have gone back to some CDs, BUT I've run into a problem with a couple of the CDs; 2013 opens to the folders but will not open each folder, 2011 the folders and photos within open very, very slowly and 2015 won't open at all. I doubt that the problem is the DVD drive because I have been able to open other CDs. I know that in the past we've talked about CDs, DVDs deteriorating. Do they warp?
