Don't install the software. Just set the camera so your computer reads the
memory card as a removable hard drive, or use a separate card reader, and
use Windows Explorer to select what pics *you* want to transfer.

Or, delete pics from the camera once you have downloaded them.

Good idea for that, although I think I found a glitch and it's working
right now, even with the Canon software. I wiped the old software, and
this time went into the registry to delete any remaining evidence of
it, and finally did the re-install without virus scan software active.
It's operating as expected now, so I can do what I need to.

In the process of examing the software, however, I found a set of
commands to change the boot up spalsh screen on the camera, along with
assigning different sounds to functions. This comes under the "Manage
My Camera" heading, but does not seem to work on the A560. Whereas
instructions mention a pull-down menu of [Camera], along with [Save to
PC], those are not visible to me. I suspect the A560 doesn't support
it? Or is there something I'm missing on that front? TIA!
