Having re-installed PD9 I have noticed that it is in two places in the Directory:

Where my programs go: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberlink

and in my Library/Documents: C:\Users\Raul\Documents\CyberLink

Is this how it should be?

thanks

You will have Cyberlink folders in you USER directories. It is normal, a LOT of your software will do that. That's why you do not lose your projects when you uninstall PD and re-install it. As with other programs. That's been around since Windows for workgroups......

Don't get excited about it and DO NOT delete them. Unless you delete Power Director for good.

Well partially. That directory is typically for 32-bit programs. Your signature says you have 64-bit Win7. CL will put waveditor and photonow there as they are currently 32-bit apps. Powerdirector will install in the C:\Program Files\Cyberlink as it is a 64-bit app. Yes you can hack and do other things if desired, but that is the default location.
