Plugin for explorer

[beetledriver]

Hi all,

I have a IXUS V2 and I seek for an Plugin for the windows explorer, that I can use the CF-Card like an drive in windows. I know that some CF-Reader has this
feature.

Know anybody how I can use this freature only with the
camera conceted via USB?

I think what you're looking for is either a USB card reader or a CF PCMCIA adaptor. The camera itself does not show up as a drive, it uses a TWAIN driver to pull data from the camera. If you have a laptop the PCMCIA adaptor is the cheapest solution (but limits you to devices that accept these devices) the USB connector is pretty ubiquitous but is more expensive to buy. On the plus side you can use the card to store data other than pictures if you so desire (requires a format so you can't have both camera and other data on the same card). So it's a convienient way to transport smaller amounts of data to and from computers without resorting to burning a CD or dealing with floppies or a propritary medium like Zip or Jazz etc...
