You can modify how programs respond to camera events by clicking on "Scanners and Cameras" in the Control Panel and then clicking on the icon for your camera (on Windows XP "Scanners and Cameras" are located under the "Printers and Other Hardware" category in the Control Panel) or by right clicking on the camera icon in Windows Explorer and selecting "Properties". If only one application is selected, as in the dialog shown below, that application will be launched when the event is detected. If more than one application is selected you will be prompted to chose which application to launch when the event occurs.
