Thread: Windows Photo Import Autoplay Option gone

    You can always get back to those options in Windows Photo gallery. In the
    Gallery, click File and then click Options. Cl;ick the Import tab, and
    you'll see all the available options for controlling the photo import
    wizard. You can find more information in this help topic:

    RE: Windows Photo Import Autoplay Option gone

    I am having the same problem. Up until today, when I inserted my memory card
    with photos on it, I had several options. All of a sudden today, I only have
    one option, which is to open the folder to view files.

    I ran the regsvr commands, and now I have the import option back, which is
    good because that is the one I use most of the time.

    However, if I recall correctly I used to have one or two other options to
    choose from, I think one of them was to view pictures with windows photo
    viewer.

    How can I get all the options back?

    More importantly, why did I lose these options. The only thing I can think
    of is that I uninstalled a trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 in between
    when the autoplay was working and when it failed. Is this likely the source
    of this problem?

    Should I consider using system restore to go back to before I installed and
    uninstalled the Photoshop CS3 trial?

    I have a similar problem in which I want to move pictures from my compact
    card using Nikon View. I looked at the choices in the Control Panel under
    auto run, but I need to see Nikon View in order to select it as the default
    program to auto run, and of course it isn't there. It was a simple matter in
    XP, but I have looked every where in Vista and can't find the answer.

    I have a similar problem but your suggested fix did not help... When I attach
    my Canon camera the box comes up asking what program to use but when I select
    ACDSee9 nothing happens... If I choose Jasc Paint or Word it works fine ? Any
    help would be appreciated...

    Yours is a completely different problem. It appears that the ACDSee9 autoplay handler is broken. See if reinstalling the application fixes the problem.

    Hi, I've got teh same problem, I've tried the regsvr32 entries, unplugged the
    USB, etc.
    Still no dice.
    It used to work for about two months, but now I have to start up Windows
    Photo Gallery to manually import. Also, I noticed WPG will not exit normally
    (after I close, it would still be in memory). I have to go manually to kill
    it, otherwise I cannot restart WPG.

    I have tried all of your suggestions in this thread and I still can't get
    autoplay to import my pictures from my canon rebel xti. Currenty, when I
    open the autoplay window, i have "import pictures using windows" selected for
    pictures and, what is weird, i have two identicle entries for my camera under
    "Devices". For both of these entries i have selected "import pictures using
    windows".

    Because the above hasn't worked since the first time, i usually go to
    start/computer where my camera is identified and right click than select
    import pictures.

    Re: Windows Photo Import Autoplay Option gone

    When I import pictures and videos from my camera, how do I change where they are saved and what they are named?
    By default, all pictures and videos are saved to the Pictures folder in a folder named for the current date and the tag you assign to the pictures when they’re imported. Each picture is given a name that includes the tag. To change the way your pictures and videos are saved to your computer, do the following:


    1. Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. Click the File menu, and then click Options.

    3. Click the Import tab, and then do one of the following:

    • Click Browse to change the folder that pictures and videos are copied to.

    • Click the Folder Name list to name the folder using other elements, such as the range of dates in which the pictures were taken. You can add several items together to create a more descriptive folder name.

    • Click the File Name list to change the information that is used to create the picture's file name.


    4. When you are finished making changes, click OK.
