On my desktop windows 98 I have a folder called My Digital Camera, down near the
end of the list (after dial up networking), on my laptop windows 95 machine I
don't. That folder showed up (I think) a couple of years ago when I installed
software for the then new Olympus 400Z -- though it is useless for that camera.

It turned out to be great for grabbing pictures for my older Olympus D200L from
Windows explorer (which also means from My Computer).

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the same folder on my laptop.

I tried installing the Olympus Twain 3.1 drivers on that, but it didn't do it.
I couldn't find anything newer on the Olympus site.

Anybody have any idea what software put that folder there?

No I don't, what you can do is right-click on an empty spot on your
desktop>new>link>browse and point to the twaindriver you have
installed>next>ok

I'm Pretty sure it was Adobe Photo Deluxe. I got a copy of it with a
image wave scanner a few years ago and it put the camera icon and also
installed a .pdf printer.

That's the correct answer, though not the answer I wanted!

I tested by installing and uninstalling Photo Deluxe 3 on one of my desktop
partions.

Since Photo Deluxe needs over 50 megs, my poor laptop will have to do without
for now.

Sigh, gone are the days of compact programs!!

My digital camera folder is not a file directory on the computer any more than
Network neighborhood is, so creating a folder by that name doesn't acomplish
anything more than creating a new empty directory.

It opens what looks like a file directory inside of the digital camera, linked
up in my case by a serial cable. It treats the memory of some digital cameras
as another folder in Windows Explorer so you can drag, cut, delete, and paste
the stored image files directly, without loading them into grapics software
first.

You may note from one of the other messages in this thread that it apparently
was created by Adobe Photo Deluxe as part of its installation.

Since the only Twain sources that show up on my desktop are from my scanner, it
is not setting up twain software to do this.

OK My bad. Interesting that the driver doesn't do it automatically. Too bad.
