Default loaction for ripped CDs

Hi Mike,
Since I wrote I've been investigating further. I run AdAware SE and
discovered that by cleansing all the MRU objects it found, this resets the
location of ripped CDs back to the default root.

The MRU is
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21~\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\CDR ecordPath

Thanks for your assistance and apologies for wasting your time.

That's not an MRU - it's a program setting.

MRU = most recently used file.
