workspace
The Adobe Premiere Elements workspace is optimized for organizing media, editing and sharing movies, and creating
menus for DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. You can customize the workspace to suit your needs. Adobe Premiere Elements
combines everything you need to create a movie, including video, audio, effects, transitions, and titles, into a single file
called a project file.

Disable tracking of information
The Welcome screen by default records and relays some usage information to Adobe to assist in the improvement of
the Welcome screen experience. The Welcome screen usage data is anonymous and does not link the information to
your personal data or your Adobe ID account information. Usage information from the Photoshop Elements Editor,
Adobe Premiere Elements Editor, or Adobe Premiere Elements is not tracked. To disable the tracking of information
in the Welcome screen:
1 In Windows XP, click start > Run (or in Windows Vista click the Start button, and select Run), and type regedit.exe
and click OK.
The Windows Registry Editor opens. Using the tree navigator on the left navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer.

A new DWORD Value with the name New Value #1 is created.
