Saving MM6 projects

[Lee.NC]

I have saved several MM6 projects but when I try to open them nothing
happens. There is no error message but nothing shows up on the storyboard.
The files are in the directory and I have opened them a couple of times
successfully but not now. The orginal files are in the same location.

Also, if I try to open from the directory the list of available programs
does not include movie maker.

I am sending a reply to my own post. i think I was removing files from the
storyboard and then saving the empty project by mistake. A lot of hard work
gone because of a dumb mistake.

This is a great program. I have tried trials of some others and find them
very complicated.

===================================
If you removed the files from the collection pane
before saving you may be right...no project to open.

Also...your source files must remain in their original
locations so the .mswmm project file can find them.

Two ways to re-open your .mswmm project files.

1) Open the folder the .mswmm file is saved in and
double left click it......Movie Maker should launch.

2) Open Movie Maker and go to...File / Open Project...
browse to and select the .mswmm project file.
