Hi Ray

Thanks - I had tried that and it didn't help. BUT, it's working again now: I had forgotten the folder tree button toggles between links and folders and just rediscovered it while playing around. Oh dear...

Cheers

Hi Richard

I think you will have to reset the program settings back to there default - File, Setting, Reset program to default settings however this will reset all the links you have created.

If you know which link is causing the issue, eg the folder/location no longer exists, then you could try editing (at your own risk) the videodeluxe.ini ( may be called moviestudio.ini or similar) file with Notepad or Notepad++ (my preferred text editor).

the ini file is in

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\program name and version.

A quick way to get to the Appdata folder is to type %appdata%\Magix into the Windows file explorer as shown below

The links should be in the [ExplorerV3_Tab0] section and are in 2 parts, eg this is the link to a folder on my PC

DC_USER_BUTTON_00100_TEXT=ScreenCast recordings
IDC_USER_BUTTON_00100_PATH=fs::W:\MAGIX\DVD_BD_Projects\Screencast-O-Matic\Recordings\

As always ensure you backup the ini file before editing

Ray, I've realised that I was being a little hard on myself in my earlier response to you. I must have hit that folder tree button twenty times - including after restarting the program and then rebooting my PC - all without result. The links appeared again after I had shut down for an hour and then restarted the PC after reading your comment. It looks like a spurious glitch and hopefully won't happen again.

Thanks, John. With a bit of luck I won't need to drill into this problem again, but I'll know where to look if and when I do!

Cheers

Richard
