When I connect my digital camera to my computer I like the program that will extract the photos to automatically open . If this does not happen you can change your settings in Windows Vista. Here’s how to choose a program to start when your digital camera is connected to your computer.
Connect your digital camera to your computer and turn it on.
- Go to the Start menu, choose control panel.
- Double click on the Default Programs icon.
- Click on Change Auto play settings.
Scroll down to find your digital camera.
- From the drop down menu you can choose what program you want to start when you plug in your digital camera.
Notes:
- If you do not have any photo extracting programs on your computer, only the built in Windows Vista program will be an option.
- If you choose Open Device to view files using Windows Explorer a dialog box will appear showing you the contents of your camera.
- You can also choose to take no action, however most people like to have their photos taken from their digital cameras automatically.
