I have a file association somewhere that makes an error pop up every time I open a folder containing images that tell me Nero cannot be found (cos I deleted it)
I have been through all the various places file associations are stored etc, even tried software to clean up / remove stuff

Yep, it sucks. After I removed Multimedia Suite it was still showing some other apps in Control Panel, tried removing them and kept getting the error "You can only do this for applications you have installed" or something equally silly. I think/hope I've got rid of it all now, but it took a few reboots and a lot of angry clicking and shouting.
:@ It's people like you that encouraged Nero by using it for something other than burning disks that turned it into the abomination it is. Nero was great back in t' day.
Does anybody here use Nero as their CD/DVD burner?
Just curious. I've got nothing against it although I haven't used it for years. It just seems that the free alternatives - ImgBurn etc. are so good there's no point.
Sorry - thread hijack over.

I haven't used Nero for years. The main thing I used to use it for was writing files to CDs (either as a backup or for transporting files) and burning ISO files. I've replaced the latter with ImgBurn and the other I've not had a reason to do for a long time.
It also installed its own video/audio filters which I'm sure took over from the default ones. Too much crap in the end so I haven't installed it for a long time.
I've got it installed on a couple of pc's, and use it very occasionally for burning cd's and dvd's (mostly I use Brasero, because mostly I work on linux). For that it (nero) seems ok, haven't tried all the other rubbish that comes with it (and I generally only install the minimum set to begin with).
