Whenever I connect my camera to my pc on litestep, the little popup thing that says "Removable disk (E:)" and then it has options like "Copy pictures to a folder on my compuer" and "view pictures in slideshow" and stuff. It doesnt pop up.
Ive tried different skins, but it still doesnt work. Anyone know what Im talking about, or know how to make it work??
Much thanks.

Put "LSUseSystemDDE" in your personal.rc

It says it's already there...
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; personal settings: miscellaneous
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;--> "LSUseSystemDDE". This loads Windows' DDE server instead of the
; DDEService. Results in larger memory usage but "proper" DDE support.
; LSUseSystemDDE takes effect on startup only, not on !recycle.

Windows XP.

Works fine here for things like Blank DVD's and such. But now that I think about it things like my iPod don't show up...never was concerned over it though. Always found that window to be damned annoying.

I used TweakUI to make sure that window never showed up for any drive, ever again. =)

For cameras,mem sticks,video cams; the popup comes up, but for iPods, iTunes automatically starts for me... I'm sure it can be changed by registry or LS settings.
