Accessing Connected Camera folder without Wia??

[MDausmann]

Hi

I have a camera that mounts as a folder when I plug it in and is
available in explorer. I thought it would be possible to access the
images on the camera using normal file operations but I cant seem to
get it to work.

I think the problem is the path I am using. In explorer, the folder
is just 'camera name', not a drive letter or whatever. I have tried
the old trick of dragging an image from the camera folder onto the
'run' menu to get the path but that doesn't yield anything usefull.

I dont particularly want to dive into the whole WIA space unless I
have to. If the solution is to somehow configure the camera to come
up as a drive letter then that would be ok also

Any help appreciated.
