It would help to know what camera you have, and if you have a card reader.
If you're not using the software that came woith the camera, just use the
USB cable that came with the camera, plug it in to the computer and the
camera. An auto play window should appear. Choose one of the options there.
The easiest would probably be to choose "Import with Windows". This option
will bring up WIndows Photo Gallery, which will allow you to choose what
folder you want to place the images in and also allow you to tag the images.

***WARNING***:
Given that importing, rating or tagging images via windows Photo Gallery
moves some of the exif data around causing some of the data to be
unreadable, If maintaining manufacturer's exif data is important to you,
choose another option for importing and rating at the Auto Play window. MS
is urging affected camera manufacturers to change the way they write the
exif in order to avoid this.


The above said, I find PG to be a great way to keep your images organized,
instantly searchable (via tags) and rated. PG uses XMP, which is compatible
with other programs such as PhotoShop Bridge. It is anticipated that XMP
will become the standard.

This is a good thing because it allows image ratings and tags to be read by
other programs. And, given that XMP actually writes the tagging and rating
info to the image file, you only have to rate and tag the images one time
for it to be readable in other progarms. No proprietary database to be
chained to. So, while I prefer that all exif data remain intact, I can stand
the loss until it is all straightened out in favor of the organization and
'once and for all' tagging and rating.
