Hi Brian,
I always thought that loading those six files on startup was kind of weird too.
The only options I have found are:
1. You don't have to delete the files, just click File, then New Project.
2. In Edit/Preferences on the File tab, there is an option at the bottom to "Automatically load the most recent project when PowerDirector opens"
I found that PD usually opens faster with the six files than my last project.
Anyone else find a better solution?
Brady
