Picture download problem
Asus EeePc notebook, Windows 7 Starter.
When I plug in a USB memory stick, to download a file culled from another computer, it takes ages to open up, and then when it does I get a message about downloading all the pictures that might be on the stick, to "Pictures". I always say NO, so then it goes away and sulks, and I can open the list of the other files on the stick, to move the one I want. I'll download any picures I want, when and if I want to, this doesn't happen on our desktop - W.7 Home, or another laptop with Vista.
Just as Outlook Express has morphed into Windows Live Mail - with all the problems that it brings with it - so it would appear that I now have Window Live Picture Editor, and it wants to 'grab' every picture that might come its way, so when a memory stick is plugged in, it says Hah ! another sucker, and wastes time interrogating all the pictures on the stick to download into its hungry mouth before allowing me to access any other file I might want.
Don't want it. I have considered uninstalling this Live Picture Editor programme, but would I then lose the ability to download to "pictures" the ones I want ?
I don't use Microsoft Picture Editor anyway, Photoshop and Picasa suit me.
Grrrrr ! I blame Bill Gates.
