Each time i make a bootable CD or DVD i hv to manually enter.

No Emulation and 4

pain in the a**.. is there are way to force these settings as default?

If you use the same boot files and settings all the time, save the compilation to say XPCD.nrb and double clicking the file will open nero with the options you want, just refresh the compilation to update\remove changed files.

I dont want to do that.

I to change the default settings so that each time i create a u.a. xp the
settings are already there. no need to do anything. EVER.

Well, looking in the registry and comparing the registry before and after making those settings in Nero, there doesn't appear to be anything in the registry for those settings. Those settings don't even get saved.

The registry key that stores the "CD-ROM (Boot)" settings is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\IsoBootDoc

What you could do is use CDRWIN (which saves the settings you need) or use CDIMAGE.EXE (command-line)

I prefer to use CDIMAGE.EXE because I just have a batch file:

BUILDISO.BAT
