When I connect my camera to a usb port, I want the contents to be viewed as a directory.
How can this be done?

That depends on whether or not the Camera is designed to work in such a
fashion. What happens when you connect it now?

I was a bit off base with my question: it is viewable as a directory; what I want is to
make it a drive.

Here's some detail:

it's a Kodak DX3600 with a recharging base that also serves as a connect switch. You push
a button and the connection is made. It is also possible to connect directly via a usb
connection on the camera. But there is no difference in response at the computer. In
either case XP sees the camera and opens the memory as a directory under My Computer. I'd
like to make that directory a drive.

You can do it if you connect ot the camera with a USB cable on a

This may sound a little weird, but it should work for you.

Connect and power on your camera.

Open "My Computer"

Click "Tools" in the menu bar.

Click on "Map Network Drive"

Browse to local folder that opens on your computer (look in address bar
of window that opens when your camera connects.

Choose a drive letter.

Let me know if you are successful.

Very logical concept. Alas, it didn't work. Currently I don't have any networks set up.
But I will, as there are other computers. Maybe then.
