AutoPlay from Digital Media

Enables a script to run when you insert your Digital Media Card

Windows XP users can have Adobe Photoshop 7 or Photoshop CS launch and run a script of choice on insertion of a digital media card into a card reader connected to their PC. Whether this is for initial image download and management or for complete workflow automation, this technique will add to your productivity This guide will take you step by step through the process of setting up AutoPlay.

AutoPlay is part of Windows OS, however Microsoft does not include a way to edit AutoPlay settings in the normal Windows installation The good news is Microsoft does provide a way with the Tweak UI utility.

Tweak UI is part of Microsoft's Power Toys collection of utilities. It allows you to change the Windows interface. Download the program here, install it and meet me on the next page as I show you how to set up your computer for Digital Media AutoPlay.
