My Digital Camera is plug-and-play, therefore the scanner and camera wizard
pops up everytime I go to import photos. I have an Import utility with
Photoshop which is far more intuitive. I'm getting annoyed always having to
close the wizard everytime. How do I stop Windows from opening it's wizard?

Click to expand...

Make Photoshop the default utility .
 
Stop the WIA service prior to hooking up the digital camera.
Start > run > type in service.msc
Click OK or press Enter

In the right frame, scroll down to Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
Double click it and set the Startup type to Disabled or click the Stop
button.
Click Apply, OK.
Close the services console.

*Remember IF* you've Disabled WIA, you need to reenable it *IF* you want
to use it in the future.
