Did you actually try to edit the Registry itself? If not, you may well need to do so-I did. I found that to remove most, if not all, references to both Roxio and Nero it was necessary to do this. Add/Remove does NOT get everything. You can try the FREE CCleaner to help you along.
If you elect to edit the Registry-You do so AT YOUR OWN RISK! Please be sure to make a backup of the Registry along with a Restore Point. This is a dangerous undertaking if you have never done it before-but it generally works.
If you want peace of mind when all done, install a program that is easier to use and does not hog resources. My choice is Ashampoo Burning Studio 7. Others will offer their choices.
Anyone else have an idea?

There is a possibility that the file is amongst the “hidden” ones on your system. You can set the “folder Options” to show everything. You should also do a Registry search (in Regedit) for both Roxio and the specific file. Removing ALL associations will help solve your problem.

Follow the removal instructions and it should get rid of EVERYTHING http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Creator/000086CR
