Two PCs, both running XP

Question 1
When a memory stick is put into a USB port in one computer a helpful dialog
box appears asking what I should like to do.
Unsatisfactoraly the default selection is 'Print the pictures' - I should
prefer the default to be 'Open folder to view files'.
Can you tell me how to change the default selection?

Question 2
When a memory stick is put into a USB port of the other computer, 'Adobe
Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.00 Photo Downloader' automatically opens
and starts scanning and cataloguing and I have to stop it and then go to
Explorer to find the memory stick and open it from there.
Can you tell me how to revert to the simple dialog box where I can choose
what I want to do, as with the other computer?

Thank you,

Francis Hookham
