Next version ( 20 Feb 2007 written by Stefan.H)

The last bug is fixed some testing need to be done and we have to change
the installer. Flo will get the first version to do some testing,
hopefully to this weekend and when he gives ok we will release it on the
beta section to get rid of the worst bugs.

If you want a burner, ripper, sound editor etc, why don't you just
download CDBurnerXP, EAC and Audacity? Or any other freeware programs
which suit your fancy?

Alternatively, if you really think bigger-is-better and you want one
_complete_ package with everything in it, download Knoppix. You'll get a
full featured desktop with burner, ripper, sound editor, media player,
office suite, browser, mail client, IM client, P2P client, a handful of
games and a whole lot more? *g*

If you're using WinXP, the CD burning capability is built in.

I don't use either one. There are some very good freeware apps out there,
but not many that are multi-featured. This one looks promising.

This is simply an FYI for those intending to use Burn4free.
These registry droppings may not actually matter to you,
but users should certainly be aware of them. They can be
a show stopper in some situations, such as mine.

I'm using a VPN that scans my computer for risky things before
connecting. It found my computer to be clean if run from an
administrator account. But when run as a nonadmin user, it prevents
connection because it found:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Burn4Free

According to
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/mrg...loads/1848445/
Burn4free adds many things related to NavHelper/NavExcel, which many
people don't like. Apparently, neither does my VPN client. However,
Burn4free has been removed long ago, so many of the things in the
above website don't appear on my computer. I have no
NavHelper/NavExcel on my Add/Remove_Programs (launched as
administrator). Neither of the 2 strings show up in the registry,
explored as administrator. And there are no file names or directories
on my hard drive containing the string "burn4free".

I have always been warned to leave registry mucking to the wizards.
But I could at least search for occurances of the string "burn4free",
which I did using regedit from an administrator account:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.b4f

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Burn4Free.exe\shell

I also exported the entire registry as a text file (REGEDIT4 file) to
doublecheck the keys containing "burn4free". The key names are found
are:

1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.b4f]
2 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\B urn4Free.exe]
3 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\B urn4Free.exe\shell]

8 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Burn4Free project\shell\open\command]
9 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Management\ARPCache\Burn4Free Toolbar]

10 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-1000\Software\Burn4Free]
11
12 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-1000\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\MostRecentApplica tion]

14 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\Burn4Free CD and DVD]
15 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\Burn4Free Toolbar]

16 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-500\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\MostRecentApplicat ion]
17 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-920026266-1343024091-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl orer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\Burn4Free CD and DVD]

These do corroborate with those found within regedit, and
corresponding keys between the 2 lists are given the same number
above. Some features to note are:

* The exported file only contains the keys rooted in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS. They do not contain the keys
rooted in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

* Keys 6 & 7 do not have corresponding hits in the search from
within regedit because the search facility only matches the
search string to the /last/ component of the "path" (or to a key
containing a value which contains "burn4free".

* Key 11 doesn't have an entry in the exported REGEDIT4 file
presumably because the export only considers keys that contains
values. There really is no point in exporting a key that
contains just another key, since the 2nd key will have its own
entry in the exported file (if it contains values).

* I presume that offending HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Burn4Free
shows up as item 10, and that strange code representing the user
is the account for which the problem experienced.

I would like to erase all the keys in the (first) longer list, and
fear causes me to want to back up the registry before doing so, which
yields a 21MB REGEDIT4 file when done as administrator.

1. Is it safe to go and remove the keys?

2. What is the most efficient (maybe scripted) way to remove the keys?
I'm more familiar with solaris (at a user level) and handier
with a text file than clicking at a GUI.

3. Is this the most advisable solution?

4. It seems more thorough to remove the keys as administrator. Is
this better than doing so as the user experiencing the problem?
Should I remove the keys as both administrator and the nonadmin
user?

5. Is saving a REGEDIT4 file an adequate safety net, or is it
better to save it in its default binary format?

6. Should I take a snapshot of the registry from both accounts?
That would create about 42MB of safety net.

7. Is there an efficient way to specify the exacty keys to export
in one shot? This would be preferable to saving 21MB of
registry per export.

8. What are some of the barriers to recovery if things go wrong?

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Not sure how this is crippled, but the OP wanted to burn mp3's to CD.
Deepburner does this very well. I will admit it does not hold your hand
nor is it as bloated as others, but sometimes simpler is better.

I used it for a long time and was really hooked until I made some .iso's.
Every one was faulty--and yes, I read the Help and followed instructions to

While we are on the subject...I bought a new computer a couple of wks
ago and the DVD/CD burner came with Nero Essentials 7 software. It has
everything one would need and more, except, *audio* for DVD's.

After installing Nero I was testing it and when I put in a DVD it had
a picture but no audio. I got a pop-up from Nero asking me if I wanted
a 30 day trail of ADCC (or something like that) or "purchase
now"......In other words, I will have NO audio for DVD's in a couple
of wks.

Is anyone familiar with Nero Essentials 7 and what the deal is?

I Googled Nero Essentials 7 and the cost is only about $5.00, so I'm
guessing this is how they "get" you, by having to pay extra for DVD
audio?
