Ubuntu :: 10.10's Brasero Has Taken Over TopMenu's Places Button

For a few days now every time I click on Places in the TopMenu, a Brasero screen opens up instead with the heading Brasero - New Data Disc Project and has a small popup screen over it asking whether files should be fully windows compatible. The defaulted image file shown at the bottom of the Brasero screen for burning is /home/thane/brasero.iso , which failed and needed to be aborted a few days ago. Things I've tried so far: -Completely remove brasero (about 4 times so far) and restart computer. -Scour the computer for any files I could find with brasero in the filename. -Attempt to remove the brasero.iso from the brasero screen -- it won't let me - I've tried but I don't see any log files for brasero, although I've no idea, what they would be called. Nothing obvious to me in /var/logs. -I can successfully use brasero to copy another disc, but as soon as I click on Places afterwards, up comes brasero again instead. -If I remove brasero (using synaptic), I can then access my directories fine, after clicking on Places in the TopMenu. But as soon as I reinstall brasero, the default disc burning software, which came with 10.10, I'm right back with problems.
