Deleting Icon in My Computer

[Johnathan]

Can someone please tell me how to delete an Icon I have that is useless? I
misconfigured a Camera setup and want to remove 'Nikon CoolPix 7600 Digital
Camera' Icon.
TIA

Go to Device Manager and Uninstall it.

Hi, I think from your post that you want to only delete the icon not the
application. If this is right you can find the Registry Key at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders

My Mobile phone software did the same and I deleted the key but everytime I
run the applicaion I get an error and have re-import the key. So I'd advise
caution and if you use the application alot just put up with it

This was a screwup on my part. I tried to set up a camera using the My
Digital Camera Icon. I guess that is also useless.

I don't know about "useless", but a much better way to handle digital
pictures is with a usb card reader. You can get a card reader with many
different-sized slots for around $30usd or even less. Then just put
your camera's memory card into the right slots and Windows will see it
as a removable drive. Copy the pictures to where you want on the hard
drive, delete from the camera's card, etc. And you don't need to
install any camera drivers/software (often flaky) or have the camera on
using up your battery life while working with the pictures.

I just noticed the com port connection required so it is impractical if not
useless. Hooking it up is all that is needed. I guess the camera becomes the
reader as long as it has the memory card installed.
