Saving Your Projects
Collections are forever in Movie Maker, which means that you don't have to save a collection to ensure it will reappear next time you run the program. In contrast, once you drag an asset to the Storyboard/Timeline window, you've started a project, which you must save to retain your work.
While you're working, Windows Movie Maker periodically saves your project information so that it can restore your project automatically in the event of a crash or power loss.
