This was my original approach, especially since cam2pc sets itself up as an event handler, but see below... > Autoplay responses can be customised.

Strangely the properties page for the F: drive (i.e., the camera) does not contain an Autoplay Tab!!!

Not sure why they would do this. I am going to keep trying to circumvent kodakccs.exe, just for the fun of it, let me know if you have any ideas... By the way the solutions from swzoh have worked well, I'm just curious about the weirdness of the kodak software. Thanks to both of you... ------------------------ Yahoo!
