    Here is something that drives me crazy, does anyone have a solution for me? I hate it when a program decides to create default path selections for me. I want to do that each time. For instance. I generally do NOT put a DVD on my hard drive when I back up one of my movies, therefore, when I select the "path" where my movie is located, its always the DVD Rom Player, not some obsure directory 0n my hard drive.

    Now, one time I put a movie in a directory created for the purpose on my desktop and I do not even remember why anymore, however, this path is forever listed in my default selections when I click "browse" or just click the arrow down button every time I select where my movie is located. I do not want it there, it is a dead link, it may be years before that "folder" appears on my desktop again to hold a movie backup.

    I find no way of deleting those "paths" for selecting the location of DVD Video files. I mean, sure the players should be listed there by default, but not every folder you have selected in your lifetime. There has to be a way to remove these paths, but its not in the .ini file so I am lost. Someone help please, its driving me nuts and I can not find a way.

    I know what you mean, I find it very annoying too. I have yet to find a logical solution. When it simply gets too long and extremely annoying to bear, reinstall CloneDVD, and the list will go back to only the default drives. This may not be a good solution, but it works.

    It is a "last recently used" list. Just type in a new path several times and the old entries will vanish.

    Typing in a few new paths, does nothing to remedy the situation, except replace the old paths with the new paths. I do not want ANY paths showing and should be able to highlight and delete until all paths are gone.

    I don't understand what your problem is. Do the paths hurt? Do they bite? They are just remembered for your convinience. If you don't use them, ignore them.
    Or do I miss the point?

    You really do not have to understand. It is MY personal preference that no paths remain behind. Apparently not yours. As I stated, I rarely (only one time actually) placed a video on my hard drive first before burning and I would rather not have to skip over that directory selection every time I use the program. That path does not exist, will not be replaced, and is irritating to me. Maybe not for you. If the program is thoughtful enough to help memory challenged persons remember where they last put a movie, then it should be thoughtful enough to allow those entries to be deleted if no longer needed. I am not memory challenged.
