BoardBabe Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Did some research and found that Nero 7.0.1.2 is placing this image "UserImages.bmp" in "My documents" after EACH %#&%¤ run.UserImages.bmpUserImages.bmp file is generated by NERO.EXE itself. It looks like BCGCBPRO730.DLL makes reference to this .bmp file. The BCGCBPRO730.DLL is produced by BCG Soft Ltd.BCG Soft Ltd. market Control bars :http://www.bcgsoft.com/On their WEB site, BCG Soft indicates Nero AG is among their client. Now, what they want to do with this file remains a mystery.This is EXTREMLY annoying, and if anyone can come up with a smart solution for preventing this. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Sonic Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have this file too (created by nero ) ! but on desktop ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) this may sound extremely stupid, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of fix on the net until nero updates and hopefully gets rid of it.but my idea, is to run nero from a cmd file then after nero exits have it delete the userimages.bmp file.i don't have nero but the cmd file would look something like this.. note that you have to change the path of nero, as i don't know the location of the exe.For the My Documents:start /wait C:\progra~1\nero\nero.execd %userprofile%\my documents\del userimage.bmpexitFor the Desktop:start /wait C:\progra~1\nero\nero.execd %userprofile%\desktop\del userimage.bmpexitname the cmd file nero.cmd and place it in your nero folder and change your shortcut to point to the cmd file insted of the nero.exe file.hope this helps. it should delete the userimage after nero is exited.oh and just a friendly reminder, you may get more replys if you post in the correct forum.

fly2279 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Anybody find a work around besides using .cmd file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly2279 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 From another board:nero has a registry entry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\Nero - Burning ROM\Settings\WorkingDirthis seems to be the issue over hereto get it out of my way I created a temp dir in the nero installation folder and changed the registry entry for the entry above to:C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoardBabe Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 @fly2279: Excellent solution, but would'nt it be better to set the path to %temp% dir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) What about making a hardlink to something else on your C driveI believe fsutil in winXP does hardlinks, as well as a 3rd party tool "CreateHardLink.exe"switch to your Documents directoryEg : fsutil hardlink create UserImages.bmp <full path to some other image on the same drive>Then mark the file as read/system/hidden... then the app in question has a crap file to work with, and you don't see it Appears Nero 6 doesn't have this lovely spyware functionality.And yes this really should be moved to "Software Hangout".

Shark007 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Appears Nero 6 doesn't have this lovely spyware functionality.How did you come up with this issue being spyware??Its simply a poorly written function of the newly released Nero 7 program.shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly2279 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 @fly2279: Excellent solution, but would'nt it be better to set the path to %temp% dir?Sure, in fact that's exactly what I did, what I posted was a direct quote from another board.

Crash&Burn Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Well I'm pretty sure I didn't see any use for "smileys" in Nero 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) @ Crash&Burn, some enlightenment ...Spyware:Any software that covertly gathers user information throughthe user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge,usually for advertising purposes. Once installed, the spywaremonitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that informationin the background to someone else.I'm quite sure that UserImages.bmp isnt qualified to be defined as spyware.shark Edited November 22, 2005 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Well I'm pretty sure I didn't see any use for "smileys" in Nero 6.Your saying you don't want them to incorporate a chat feature while your burning stuff?A: what are you burning?B: more pornA: Who wouldn't want this feature in thier burning software?
