Project Window problems

I do a lot of educational dvds with lots of short video clips. I find it useful to use the first menu (main menu) as a way of linking to the other menu pages that contain the videos.

After doing 10 or so menus with up to 15 videos on each page, I go back and drag the menu of say "Half pass Videos" onto the main menu so it is a live link to the menu that will open all the videos

How do I keep the project window from adding all of the links of each of the videos to the list under the main menu (which can make this first menu list VERY long). The links are already listed under each of the menus so I don't want them repeated at the beginning menu. I've used DVDA 5.0 in the past and it's worked but now it is doing this as well so think there is a way to specify but don't know where to look or what question to ask.

PS
This is really messing with my ability to make a DVD because now it wants all of these extra links linked

Just delete the buttons that link to them from your main menu page.

That removed them from the Main menu. I wanted to link to the 2nd menu but deleting any part of this removes ability to go to 2nd menu from Main Menu

You could manually insert a blank button and then link that button.

You also may be misinterpreting what you're seeing on-screen.

Are you literally seeing all of these scene links in the layout window, when you look at the main menu page?

The Project Overview window (the one on the left) can show what appear to be links. But, unless you're actually seeing the buttons on the main menu, they aren't there.

Will it definitely adds them to the "destination List" on the right window. That makes it difficult to know what to link to if I also create a button with it.

I can just make text out of it that matches the menu and add a button but dragging the actual menu is faster because I name it what I want and I don't have to retype everything.

I would add pictures to this but I'm not really sure how to do that. I have a way to get them online to link, but don't see mechanism for it in this forum
