imported photos from my camera to Windows Photo gallery and then copied

I tried to copy and past this message using the Vista snip tool but
that didn't work either!

Hi yorkshire lass


I don't know why this is not working for you, but if it doesn't matter
where the pictures go, I do not import the pictures myself but right
click on the camera icon open it like any other drive and copy the
pictures that I want to a prefered folder, in my case D:\Photos.
Then when I want a new background I just do the norm from this folder.
I hope this helps and works..

Thanks for replying, unfortunately I can't find an icon for my camera ,
it just imports by default into WPG and then I have to copy and past
into Photos folder. Some photos I can set as desktop wallpaper from that
folder and some I can't. I've tried right clicking and leftclick/ File
but some it works for and some it won't!!

Hi yorkshire lass

Sorry,
I think that I did not make myself very clear I meant that the Camera
should show up in computer along with the other drives.
As for automatic imports you can stop this by going to Control Panel -
cd's and other media playback, look for an entry under media for your
camera and change the entry so that it does not automatically import
photos, but gives you a dialogue asking you what you want to do. ie,
open folder

I hope this makes sense as I am translating from my German vista, if
not let me know and I will change my language and try again

Ps the camera has to be connected while changing the autostart

Hello Dawn

I found I was able to copy jpegs directly into the wallpaper folder
using my screen capture app.

I use Faststone capture 3.5. The Run this program as admin box needs to
be checked ( right click the .exe - under compatibility tab tick the box
and Apply , OK ) - when I run the program, I also right click and run as
admin. for good measure.

A better solution with cameras is to purchase a USB card reader and put the
camera's SD card into it. Then Windows will treat it as just another drive
and you can copy/paste the picture files wherever you want. Most laptops
and some newer desktops even have a card reader built into them. Or the
Photo Gallery might have options so you can change the default importing
function.

not necessary as the camera is already treated as a drive

Hello Dawn

Sorry if that wasn't clear, I meant to tick the Run as admin box under
PropertiesCompatibility of the app. you are using to copy the pics to
the wallpaper folder , not the camera itself.

Also, I found when importing from my scanner , sometimes the imports
have the read only box checked under PropertiesGeneral. As some of your
jpegs seem to copy , and some not, - might be worth checking to see if
that's the case
