Video Livrary files location

Since I had burned a DVD already of one of my priojects, I tried to delete its listing in Library Manager . However, every time it hung up on me. Perhaps I could delete it through Windows Explorer? My VideoStudio is both 10 and 11.5. In what folder would the files of the Library Manager be listed.
Thanks.

Unless you have manually selected another working folder, your files should all be in the default working folder as specified in File > Preferences > General. That is usually on your C:\ drive in a sub-folder of your Documents [and Settings] folder. I change this immediately to another drive to avoid overtaxing the C:\ drive reader, given that VS itself is also located on that drive.

Thanks, Ken.
Sorry that I was not quite clear in writing up the problem.
Yes, I know that the files are in the Working Folder specified in Prerences. I deleted all the .avi files in that folder. What I wanted to know is how I can remove (delete) the name of the project listed in the list under Video in the Library Manager. Selecting the name of that project and clicking "Remove" resulted in hang-ups (not responding) of the computer. That's why I want to delete that name, if possible, through Windows Explorer,
In other words, when you click Video --> Library Manager, you get a listing of video projects. One of them is the name of the project whose individual clip files were already deleted.

Ah! Sorry.

I am afraid I can't help on that one. I just press the 'Delete' button and don't suffer any hang-ups. Hopefully someone else might be able to suggest something...

Ken, In any case thank you for trying to help me.

The Video, Image, Filters, Library files are located for WinXP:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameHere\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio\11.0, and have a *.dat extension.

The Video Library file is called VS_video.dat.

However deleting that file, will remove all of the Video Libraries in VS. So if you have added video libraries, they will be lost.

Note: The Application Data folder is a hidden folder. You need to make sure that you can see hidden files and folders. To show them in any Windows Explorer window go to the Tools menu>Folder Options, then click on the View tab. Scroll down to Hidden Files and Folders, and place a check in the box beside Show Hidden files and folders.

The location of libraries etc should be (in my humble opinion) a place that should be included in your regular backups.
