I need a little help from the computer wizzes out there. Im running Windows XP sp2. We bought a Kodak digital camera the other day and installed the software that came along with it. Now, all pictures that are on the computer are opened in this Kodak software. I know it's a default issue but I'm pretty lacking in computer knowledge. I'd like to return it to where the pics open in Corel Photo Paint.

Hey George, From your desktop, right click on My Computer, select Explore.
From the My Computer window that opens select tools from the topmost toolbar, then select Folder Options from the drop down menu.
From the Folder Options window that opens select the File Types tab.
Now you will see a list of all the registered file types. What you need to do is scroll down and find the file types in that list that you want to open in corel (.tif, .jpg, whatever) highlight them and then select the CHANGE button toward the bottom middle of the window, this will pull up an application list window from wich you can select Corel. You’ll need to do this for any file types that have been changed. It’s sort of a pain in the rump.
Cheers.

Or just right click a jpeg, a drop down menu will appear, go to "open with", then "choose program". Select what you want it to open with and check the box that says "always use the selected program". You can do this with the other file/image types too. Hope this helps.

The easiest way to get pictures out of a Kodak camera & into your computer is to by-pass that software completely. You do this by getting a card-reading device (if it's like most K's, then it's Secure Digital/SD). You remove the card from the camera & insert it into the reader. Then you just transfer by using Windows Explorer. Couldn't be simpler. Transfer is practically instantaneous & omits using that cable thing or a docking device. In other words, I just prefer NOT to use the EasySwear stuff.

The easy share has become the "HOW TO not serve" your customers interests. All they wish to do is sell you their services which are expensive and time consuiming.. ITs been reincarnated at least 4 times.. Each time it gets a little better. But it has become at least 10 years behind everyone else. Soem love it,, Most hate it..
In XP.. After you install the cam drivers.. Usually you can directly access your pics via the My Computer panel. Attach your cam,, wait a few,,, and a cam icon should appear. Your cam should appear as another type of data storage device.. There you should see your camera icon. Click on it and you will soon get a folder with your pics listed by some code number. Just about any pic viewer will allow you to see them.

although modern cameras seem to do a good job of file transfer, I still prefer to save as much battery as possible. another option is if your printer has slots for those cards. that work well also.
(edited in): Probably the most simplest method would be to get one of those newer memory cards which has a usb connector built right into it, thus by-passing the use of cameras, cords or card readers altogether.

I just let the automatic downloader in XP get & load & label the pictures- I've not installed the camera's software. Later I use ACDSee to rename them, but I'm leaning toward trying Adobe's new Bridge program for that now.
