Hi,
I got a new camera, and installed the software off the cd that came with it, such as phot deluxe, and it added a "my digital camera" icon to my computer, after a while i decided that i dont need any of the camera software, as windows detects it as a removable drive. So i unistalled all the software that the installer installed, but the icon is still there. How do i get rid of it?
Heres a screenshot of the icon bty.

XP recongnise`s the camera as a removeable drive. Adobe added the icon.
It doesnt matter now anyway, i found a way to remove it. After a bit of research, i found out that adobe photo installs a camera access program called fotonation, so i deleted all fotonation directories and registary enteries, and that made the icon into a standard folder icon, which i then right clicked on and selected delete.

if you had browsed the manual, you would have seen that there is an exe file on the install cd itself which will remove that icon when run!
