How do I stop Elements 5 from launching every time I insert a memory stick ?

My old PC [still] runs Win XP.
Elements 5, which has proved very handy for making minor adjustments to my inept method of photography, seems to want to run Every Time I insert a memory stick, and takes ages compiling a list of just about every photo I've ever taken regardless of who for.
I want to stop it doing this so I can concentrate on what I want to do, rather than what IT wants to do.
Anyone got any ideas please?

  • How do I stop "Camera Window" from launching every time I plug in my iPhone

    When ever I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync the application "camera window" pops up telling me there is no camera connected, then I have to click ok for the box to go away. Is there any way I can get it to stop doing this?

    Have a look at this walk through... http://joe-riggs.com/blog/2009/03/disable-iphoneipod-camera-autorun-in-xp/
    That is for Windows XP users, there is a link at the bottom for Vista/7 users. That should be what you are after.

    How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.

  • How can I stop Game Center from opening every time I finish a game?

    I despise Game Center and don't want to use it.  Every time I finish a game of Real Solitaire, Game Center opens and bothers me about not logging in.  This is on an iPad 4/128gb.  I never had this problem until I got the new iPad.  Is there any help, or am I simply going to have to tolerate this unwelcome, unwanted intrusion?

    You can also use the settings in Image Capture to set which devices open/not open specific Applications.
    Open Image Capture from the Application folder and connect the camera or iphone. Once it is detected, you will be presented with an application opening list at the bottom left corner where you can select what happens when that device is connected including iPhoto, iTunes or none. Each device can be configured differently.
    You may also have to go into the FinePix settings and see if there is a setting in that Application to turn off it automatically loading every time the camera is connected.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I stop tracking cookies from respawning every time I open a Firefox window?

    I'm in Firefox 21. I tried to delete my cookies, but when I close and reopen the "Show Cookies" window, all cookies have respawned, including many third party advertising cookies from sites I have never visited, sites such as 2o7.net, interclick.com, adlegend.com, and about a hundred others. This is in spite of the fact that I have "Accept third-party cookies" unclicked. How can I delete these advertising tracking cookies and ensure that they never come back?

    Additional Detail: If I close all tabs and windows of Firefox, then the cookies do not respawn; the cookies window then remains empty. However, once I open a window and navigate to any page, they all come back.

  • How do I stop my iPhone from ringing every time I send a text message?

    I can find no settings for an alert when a text msg is sent, but my phone rings every time I send one.

    Are you sending the texts with the Messages app that Apple bundled with the iPhone or are you sending the message with some other app?
    If you're using the Messages app, try restarting or restoring your iPhone.
    If you're using some other app, try tapping Settings and then the App name to adjust it's preferences.

  • Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

    The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

    OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
    An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
    Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

    Hi Jim:
    You are a Legend! I have Windows 8.1, but I had the same option in Control Panel and sure enough it was in auto play, which I have now changed and it is no longer occurring. Thank you!!

  • How Can I stop Elements 7 from searching for a memory file?

    Recently, every time I turn on Elements 7 it starts searching for a missing file each time it encounters a photo with a "?" in the corner. I must have pressed a key somewhere to start this function but now I can't get it to stop. I can only continue to another photo if I press cancel while it is searching but I have to do this for each "?" marked picture. Is there any way of cancelling this feature? Thanks in anticipation.

    Two solutions:
    1. Uncheck the option Edit > Preferences > Files > Automatically Search For And Reconnect Missing Files.
    2. Either reconnect the missing files or delete them from the catalog, using the File > Reconnect > All Missing command.  See this FAQ for tips on how to use the command:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_large
    Leaving missing files in your catalog doesn't have any benefit.

  • How can I stop Elements 6 from creating a duplicate suffixed _edited-1?

    Every time I bring a file from the organizer to an editor, Elements 6 creates a duplicate file suffixed "_edited-n" whether I rewrite/save the file or not.  I have to constantly "revert to original".  I don't need this unwanted help as I never store an edited file without renaming.
    Does anyone know how to stop this?

    The problem is that many times I don't store a file, I just want to look at it in an editor.  I load a logo file frequently and every time I do, I have yet another duplicate.
    This isn't happening for me. The only time I get _edited-1 added to the file name is when I save the file.
    If I simply open the file, look at it, and then close without saving, no file gets created and of course, no _edited-1 gets added.
    Are you sure you haven't done some of the editing in the Organizer on this photo prior to your opening it in the editor?

  • How do I stop iPhoto from launching every time I sync my iPhone?

    I have looked for something in Preferences on both my iPhone's PHOTOS tab as well as in iPhoto but cannot find where to tell whatever I need to tell to stop iPhoto from launching automatically every time I hook up my iPhone to my Mac to sync. This is really annoying and I'd so much rather just handle anything like that via the iTunes interface vs. another window/program that has to operate to deal with stuff on the iPhone. It's INelegant at best and just simply a pain in the arse at worst.

    You mean I can use this Image Capture thing for moving stuff from scanners as well?
    You bet. Some don't prefer using iPhoto to store all imported digital camera photos or any such application (not sure why but to each his/her own) so Image Capture can be used instead which is a simple import/transfer application. Using Image Capture, you can download some or all, remove photos from the camera after the download process, select a default download location or create a new folder in the location of choice and use a chosen automatic task such as crop to a 4' x 6' which occurs after the download process is complete.
    A nice simple little application which has some juice for those who don't like using iPhoto or similar type application.
    I'm in the habit of rooting around the applications folder and utilities folder with a new Mac purchase so I was aware of Image Capture but I've always preferred using iPhoto for my digital camera import process.
