    How Do I Change My Photo Import Directory

    Hello. I'm running Win Vista Ultimate and I used the photo import wizard to
    import photos from my Canon camera. The first time that the wizard appeared,
    there was a Browse dialog that asked me where I would like my photos
    imported. I chose a directory. Now I want change the destination directory
    but the wizard never asks me and I can't figure out how to get it to ask me
    or how to adjust the setting. Any help is appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    C. Camera (yes. really. that's my last name. google me.)

    Do you mean using Windows Photo Gallery?

    File - Options - Import

    Carl,

    You can control where to import your photos using the Options in Windows
    Photo Gallery. Open Photo Gallery, choose File, Options, and then click the
    Import tab. Here you can set where to import photos to, along with other
    preferences.

    What if clicking the Options tab does nothing? I've tried clicking on it a
    million times and nothing pops up. I can't change anything. Thanks.

    That sounds like a serious problem with your installation of Windows or a
    mangled entry in the registry. I am certainly not qualified to give advice
    on how to resolve it, but if I encountered a problem like that I would
    contact technical support.
