Nero must be one of the most badly designed pieces of bloatware. It so happens that we discussed it in a newsgroup a week ago. Here's one poster's comment:
I used Nero for a couple of weeks a few years ago and it was THE
most frustrating and infuriating experience of my computing life
(about 15 years). I /will/ admit it actually burns OK discs, but
it also takes a heavy toll on your mind.

Not being able to remember/find HOW you used to do something
/very simple/ is a sign of a badly designed program, of which
Nero is one of the best examples I have ever seen. A maze of
illogical and incomprehensible and unnecessary windows and
vicious dialog circles and 20 minutes of ****ing around to do
something which should take 5 clicks.
Anyhow, to burn an ISO image, open the drop-down menu under "Recorder" and select "Burn Image". A window will open to let you choose the image you want to burn.
Now why the hell do they put "Burn Image", "Erase Rewriteable Disc". etc under Recorder?
Personally I prefer Nero 6 over 7 because 7 is too fussy about media. 7 often refuses to burn slightly scratched discs that are perfectly useable with 6 and can be read without any problem. After using 7 for some time, I switched back to 6.6.0.13.
