Quick Find Stuck


qazwsx

Question

Is there a way to clear the contents of the Quick Find menu without doing an install?

Creator DE 9.0

Vista

There's a folder in the menu I don't want. I want to start over with different folders. Right-clicking does nothing. Clicking "clear all" in Settings does nothing. Unchecking the folder in the tree does nothing. How are these folders removed from this menu in order to have a different set?

 

Also, my other burning programs have a burning speed option. Why is the drop-down menu in Roxio blank?

Quick find should be updated every time it runs so put the files in the folders you want and then delete the ones you don't want. Quick find should delete the folders that are no longer there. Why don't you turn off quick find, re-set the folders that you do want to watch and then restart quick find. A lot of people tun that resource off since they know where the files are.

 

The speed options depend on your burner and the information your burner sends to the Roxio program. First, do you have a proper format disc in your drive, second does the program see your burner?

 

BTW, you have an OEM version of the software so it is limited and crippled. You may not have all the options you are looking for.

That's just it, when I restart Quick Find, there's one folder it insists on showing. It can't be removed. I don't have any folders checkmarked but it still shows one folder. I have turned it off and on moved folders around. I didn't want to have to hunt it down in the Registry or do a re-install. So, how do you clear Quick Find, back to being blank again?

 

Yes, proper format, yes the program sees the drive. It writes to disc but there are disc errors on large files. It's not the drive because the WIN software will burn just fine. I just got in the habit of using Roxio over the years but maybe there's no advantage anymore?

Update:

I did a reinstall, which was problematic because bits and pieces of Roxio were everywhere and Vista's main uninstall did not find them all.

But it worked.

The drive-speed dropdown menu returned and Quick Find appears to be working so far.

There was also a problem where Roxio would hang and that seems to be better as well.

Glad you have it solved. Sometimes the long process of re-install is the quickest in the long run. :)
