Photosmart Camera - SDIO Trigger

[paulzazzarino]

On insertion of the camera the Ipaq always invokes hpcamapp.exe. Which is a nice feature if you want it, but in my case we are rolling our own camera app.

If you uninstall the HP software then you can not use the native photo SDK calls. So how does one neuter this trigger.

Is there a registry value? or can you whack it out by running a OnAppEvent() program to clear them.

p.s.
the 1.3 Megapixel resoution is not bad, and the HP photo SDK enables one to program the camera fairly easily!

How about creating a program of the same name after backing up the HP camera apps?

There's a registry entry that controls which program is executed when a device is inserted. There's a great app that lets you customize the action for memory cards, WLAN cards, etc.:

I know the answer is in the registry somewhere -- I found it once while juggling several apps for the Jornada camera, before I found PHM PowerToys -- but I can't remember where. Try firing up a registry editor and searching for "hpcamapp.exe".

HTH,
