When I use the Scanner & Camera Wizard, I progress through to a section named "Picture Name & Destination".

In that section, are two fields; 1: "Type a name for this group of pictures" and 2: "Choose a place to save this group of pictures".

The fields have lists of names in them from previous entries.
I wish to remove/delete them so they never show again.

How do I do that please?

It is not that simple, tried that previously.

Try it yourself & you will see what I mean. Hook up your camera/webcam, take a photo with the Wizard, name it & the folder & save.

Close wizard & go through the motions again but this time, try to delete/remove the name(s).

I think it is something to do with Windows Shell.?

413666 2005-12-19 11:07:00 All fixed now. Installed MRU-Blaster but before i ran it, I went to the forum for it & had a search to see if anyone else ever had the problem.
One person did, who said Blaster did not remove the names.

The post mentioned the registry name.

I have deleted them from the registry & on reboot, they don't come back.

In case anyone is interested, or has the problem themselves in the future, they are called MRU's & my particular one was found here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/windows/current version/WIA/WiaAcquisition Manager
delete "RootFileNameMru"

Back up the key first, just in case.

Removing MRU's.
