lightroom question

How do you keep lightroom from starting up whenever you hook up anything with a picture on it.

I love lightroom but it keeps starting on its own all the time. I've looked in preferences but can't find where to set it so that I start it when I want it.

Thanks in advance for any comments

Edit ... Preferences ... Import ... checkbox: "show import dialog when memory card is detected"

At least on Windows.

Thanks, but...

I have that checked. But even when I plug in my phone, Lightroom starts up. There should be a way to keep it from starting up unless you select it.

Uncheck it and see if it helps.

I think you may need to change your Windows AutoPlay settings for your Camera.

From memory, if you plug in your camera, then, in windows explorer, right-click on the Camera icon and select Properties. There should be an AutoPlay tab where you can change the default behaviour.

If that doesn't work then on XP i think you can use the TweakUI app in the free Microsoft PowerToys collection. When you run it take a look underneath the My Computer/AutoPlay section.
