I installed a USB Digital Camera Card reader to my PC and
it brought up a dialog asking me what I wanted to do when
this device (removable disk) was plugged in each time. I
selected open up an explorer window and clicked the box
that said something like "Always do this action". I
goofed. I want to change the action and now that dialog
will not come back up. Obviously I have set some internal
flag and I can not get it unset. I even tried a system
restore back to a point before I did this. The dialog
still does not come up. Can I get this back? There must
be some hack I can do.

Rick,

When the card reader is plugged into your computer open up an explorer
window to My Computer. Find the removable drive associated with the card
reader (you might need to insert a card into the card reader to see the
removable drive but not sure). Right click this removable drive and select
properties on the context menu. Switch to the 'AutoPlay' tab sheet. From
here you should be able to set the default action or make it prompt you
everytime you insert your card into the card reader.

Let me know if this works for you,
Dennis Davis [msft]
