I would never use the "let Windows decide" option if you are moderately comfortable with the Windows OS (as you obviously are).
I make only make one image at a time manually (keep it, rename it, move it or delete it). MS use an image differencing approach to vhds relying on volume shadow copy to retain multiple images. This is a weak link in the process and I don't trust it.

Thank you.

I too avoid the differencing approach.

Me too. There are too many ways for it to go wrong.
