Windows 8 Pro - How to change the default action for a device?

Dinarius · 2014-04-02 07:10:27

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 and when I first connected my camera to the computer, I stupidly selected the action, Download images to Windows Photos. I no longer want it to do this. I want it to open the camera's own software instead. How can I change the default action? Thanks. D.

Search Control Panel in start then go to Default Programs. You can configure the default actions for Autoplay in there
