Transferring Pics from Digital camera to subfolder in my pictures

Going nuts here.....I have a kodak easy share camera and dock. Always
before, I set the camera on the dock, hit a button on the dock and it started
the wizard... It would ask me what I wanted to name the pictures and I would
type for example CATS. The wizard would automatically make a new folder
called CATS in my pictures...

Now it asks me to name the pictures but it drops them directly into MY
PICTURES...not in a sub-folder. So now I have pictures named CATS, CATS02,
CATS03, etc, but not a folder named CATS.

I went to windows help and it says : Each time you transfer photos from
your digital camera, Windows XP creates a new area, or subfolder, within My
Pictures to contain them. BUT HOW DO I GET IT TO MAKE A SUB-FOLDER WITH MY
CHOICE OF NAME??? I know it can do this because I have been doing it since
Christmas....it just stopped!!!!
 
My 2-cents worth.

I also tried the Easyshare software when I first got my Kodak.

Sending pics from camera to folders via the dock created some godawful messes
with folders and archiving and Easyshare losing "associations" with archived
photos.

I found the easist solution for myself was to not use the dock except for
re-charging.

I plug the camera directly to a USB port and Windows recognizes the camera as a
hard drive.

I can then transfer where I want to and use Digital Image Library for Archiving.

Can also transfer from hard drive back to card on camera if I want take it into
Wal-Mart for printing while I'm over having a beer.

If you uninstall the Easyshare software completely, Windows recognizes the
camera as removable storage.

I prefer it as a hard drive because of the Wal-Mart reason above.

I don't want to send them in via internet 'cause I have to wait for them to mail
me the prints.

I don't get to town much<g>

thats how I do it too.....I dont use the easyshare software, Im using windows
wizard each time, just by setting it on the dock and hitting the button.
But it was automatically making a subfolder for me with my choice of
name....now it isnt. I dont want it to be named by date, and thats the
only option I can find. I also dont want to have to make a new folder each
time on my own......it was doing it all in the transfer process
automatically...I just typed a name.

I have fixed this once before but now I cant remember how.
 
It's still *very* easy to click on the date-named folder and rename
it to anything you want after the transfer--right?
