Hi Patricia,
    OUCH!  It's highly probable that deleting an application's folder and 
its shortcuts will come back to haunt you.  Nearly every program installed 
on a system will also write many settings into the registry that are called 
during bootup or whenever a related app or process is started (such as 
inserting a black CD or DVD into your drive).  At the very least, I predict 
that you'll receive an error message every time you boot or reboot your 
system until this is fixed.  the error will say something to the effect that 
a file is missing and there may be more than one of those messages.  At 
worst, you'll experience STOP errors (WinXP's replacement for the old Blue 
Screen Of Death or BSOD) which will stop the computer from functioning at 
all until you reboot the machine.

    I also have Nero 7 Premium installed but mine DOES show up in my own Add 
or Remove Programs applet.  Still, there is a shortcut under Start > All 
Programs > Nero 7 Premium called "Nero ProductSetup" that is designed to, 
among other things, uninstall the product properly (including all of those 
registry keys that are about to give you headaches).

    The fix for this situation is to, oddly enough, install Nero 7 Premium 
back onto the system and then use that "Nero ProductSetup" shortcut to 
uninstall it.  This will allow the program to easily wipe out everything 
that was installed, including Registry keys and any drivers & other support 
files that were copied to various Windows system folders.  It will also 
prevent those errors I mentioned in the beginning of this post. 
:O)

Peace,
GMan
