When I plug in my iPhone 3GS into my Windows XP machine, it automatically opens up Word and displays a preview of all my photos from my phone.

I believe I may have accidentally selected an option to always do that. How do I turn it off?

  • Wait, it opens word? Do you mean Microsoft Word? That sounds very odd! – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun Aug 9 '10 at 6:49
  • @torbengb It's entirely possible Word would have gotten associated as the default action. You've never had a user email a screenshot pasted into a Word document? I used to get them all the time... – Broam Aug 9 '10 at 16:32
  • I see Word-embedded screenshots weekly, but I've never before seen the Scanner-and-Camera thing default to Word. – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun Aug 9 '10 at 19:40

  1. Connect your phone to the computer.
  2. In Windows, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanners and Cameras.
  3. Right-click on "Apple iPhone" > Properties.
  4. Click the tab "Events".
  5. Click the radio button "Take no action". Then OK.

Now when you connect the phone, nothing should happen.
