You didn't think i was done with Pinnacle Studio did you?

OK, OK, let this be a warning to you.  It's bad enough if you open a project in Studio 10 and there are broken links to media used in the project because you have to click twice for each broken link to continue without making changes, but if you then exit Studio 10 without switching to another project, guess what?  You have to click again and again just to open Studio so you can get back to work (because it automatically opens the last project that was open when Studio was closed).  As of yet, i've found no way to cancel out of this process.  So if you are like me and have made picture dvds that include media on various USB drives, you've been warned.  Either connect all drives when opening Pinnacle (at the same drive letters) or create an "empty" project and switch to that before closing the app.

** Update **
My bad.  i was fooling around with Windows MovieMaker and noticed under "Tools | Options" there was a checkbox for "Open last project on startup".  i figured Studio would have a similar configuration setting.  i found it under "Setup | Project preferences".  That tab has a checkbox for "Automatically save and load my projects".  Uncheck this and you avoid the issue i mentioned above.
