Every time I connect my iPhone, Windows XP pops up a wizard (I think it's called "Microsoft Camera and Scanner Wizard) to retrieve photos - as if it were just a camera. How do I stop this from happening?

Oddly, when I connect my actual digital camera, this wizard doesn't pop up. I'm using cam2pc to unload photos from my camera, and that works fine and no Windows wizard pops up.

1.) Go to Control Panel.
2.) Scroll to Scanners and Cameras.
3.) Right-click "Apple iPhone" and left-click "Properties" in the popup box.
4.) Within properties window click on the "Events" tab.
5.) Select "Take no action" under "Actions."

  • Don't think I'd have found that on my own. I'll try it out and report back - thank you Systech!

    Note that this requires plugging in the iPhone in order to see it on the "scanners and cameras" screen, AND requires dismissing the popup before it'll show the Properties tab.
