Hi,

Last week I installed an automatic document feeder scanner. As soon as
I put a sheet of paper in, Windows detects the sheet and used to ask me
what program I wanted to launch. Well, I picked the software that came
with the scanner and checked the box that said always perform this
action (forget exact wording). Now, I'd like to change that action and
I can't for the life of me find where to do that. Windows doesn't
detect this as a drive, so I can't change autoplay in my computer. I
tried uninstalling the software, and that makes nothing happen when I
put a sheet in the auto feeder. Any ideas???

Thanks...
 
Right-Click the icon for that filetype, click Open_With, put a check in "Always use...", and select the app you want to run with a
doubleclick (or browse to it)

Thanks for the reply, but actually, there is no icon for that filetype
because it is not a filetype, it is an action. It happens as soon as
you insert the paper into the autofeeder. The scanner just starts
scanning and the program that I no longer want to launch launches.
