2 Working With the Program
When you start Nero MediaHome for the first time, a Welcome screen is displayed, allowing
you to start an automatic search for media files on your computer. The found folders and
files will be the basis of your media library in Nero MediaHome. At this point, you can also
narrow the search to specific drives, or cancel the automatic search all along and manually
add the desired folders later on. If you let Nero MediaHome search for media files, the found
folders will be displayed after the search with the possibility to include or exclude them
individually from the library.
After the initial search, the application is opened with the photo and video browsing screen
displayed by default. If you open Nero MediaHome the next time and have selected the
respective option, the last viewed screen will be displayed. You can switch between the
different browsing screens by clicking one of the entries in the navigation tree (such as
Music).
The Nero MediaHome folder scanner automatically searches all local, external and mapped
network drives for media files and adds them to the index of the application.
You can of course fill and manage the media libraries in the Options window any time later.
Simply click the Options button in the header of the main window.

2.3 Nero MediaBrowser
Nero MediaBrowser is a tool which you can use to easily find, view, and access media files
and add them to your project. More precisely, with Nero MediaBrowser you can access a
media library which contains all your media files that were indexed by Nero MediaHome.
Nero MediaBrowser is designed to be accessed in several Nero applications, but is also
available as a standalone application.
You can use Nero MediaBrowser within Nero MediaHome for slide show and photo product
projects. When you double-click a media file or select it and click the Add button in Nero
MediaBrowser, the media file will be added to your current project.
To use Nero MediaBrowser with a non-Nero application, open Nero MediaBrowser via the
Windows start menu or its tile, depending on your operating system. You will then be able to
add media files to any active application by dragging the desired media file onto the
application. When you double-click a media file in Nero MediaBrowser, it is opened in its
default program.
Nero MediaBrowser features the same categories (Photos & Videos, and Music) as Nero
MediaHome. There are different views available for each category: Clicking one of the
entries in the upper part of the list (for example Faces) displays the same view as when
clicking the corresponding tabs in Nero MediaHome. Also, the same scroll bar as in Nero
MediaHome is used. This is either the standard scroll bar or the dynamic scroll bar.

account, simply log in using your e-mail address and password.
All existing Nero accounts work with Nero MediaHome, regardless of where you
