How To Trim Popup List for "Menu Background" Options in Nero 6?

[Martin]

I've been using Moviemaker and Nero 6 for a couple of years. When
authoring a DVD in Nero, one of the options when creating the menu is
"background". This gives you a visual choice of a plain background, a
still picture, or a video, and also a choice to have an audio file
play in the background while the menu is displayed.

Every time I browse for and choose a new background selection while
authoring a DVD, it gets added to a popup list that is stored
somewhere and presented the next time I use Nero. After two years,
this popup list is many pages long, and 80% of the files don't even
exist on my computer any more.

There does not seem to be any option for deleting items from this
popup list. How do I remove old choices from the list? I don't want
to totally remove and re-install the software, because of the 20% of
things I'd like to keep on the list.

thanks,

Martin

I think you'd be better off asking this on a nero forum rather than one for
movie maker.

Believe it or not, there doesn't seem to be a Google group for Nero.

Also, since Movie Maker doesn't have authoring or burning capability,
anyone on this forum making a DVD from their output will have to be
using something. Since the "Zero to Hero" Movie Maker textbook
recommends Nero (I think that's why I'm using it), I'd expect to find
a good bit of crossover on here. Especially from the book's author

As I wrote half of Zero to Hero, I had to check to see what DVD software it
refers to.

Page 162 mentions using Sonic's MyDVD for a DVD... then on page 164 it
covers using Nero to make a VCD or SVCD... then on page 165 goes back to
the subject of DVD making with ULead's Movie Factory.

I'm using Sonic MyDVD on my XP system and ULead's Movie Factory on my Vista
Home Basic lapop... but not Nero. The brands are what came with my computer.
Maybe Nero came with yours...
