Is there a setting or something that will delete all files in the collections
folder when I start a new project? I just created a big project with about
50 files (video, pics, etc) and once I saved the project and went into the
Movie Maker later for a different project (not going to use any of the files
I priorly used) they were ALL there. There's got to be a way so that they
disappear so I know what file is what and not have to go thru all the others,
isn't there?

thx

see my website's Manage Your Files > Collections page... the backup section
tells you where that file that stores all the info is... delete it and Movie
Maker will create a new clean slate as it opens the next time.

Okay, so if I delete out that file (MEDIATAB0.DAT), when I want to pull up
the original project I was working on (with the 50+ files), when I open up
the project file, then all the files that were in the collections section
will come back? If so, will it include the added files since the project was
last saved?

I wish they would have created this a little differently when making this
software...

Thanks PapaJohn for your help!!! :-)

the project files are totally independent of the colllection clips... when
you open a project file, the clips won't go back to the collections as
they're not needed there... they'll still be in the project
storyboard/timeline as they were when you last saved the project.

I typically run with a blank slate of collections. When I'm in my file
manager and see a project file I want to work on, I double-click it (MSWMM)
and Movie Maker opens quickly with the project in it, quickly because it has
no clips in collections to check out as it opens.

okay, thanks. although I guess in this particular case since I wasn't thru
with that one project and hadn't edited everything and added to
storyboard/timeline they would be needed in there. I just played with it
more and am trying to organize the files better so I'll know what clips added
are actually new ones and not get them mixed up with the old. Once I'm done
with this project and make it a movie then I'll probably delete out that file.

Thanks again for all the helpful advice PapaJohn (mmm, pizza sounds good
right now, LOL).

you're welcome.... as I drove out of a parking lot today, there was a car
zipping down and into my lane... I smiled as he wizzed by, thinking '...
wouldn't it be funny to be broad-sided by a Papa John delivery car... maybe'
I'd have gotten some free slices in the accident.
