How the WINDOWS7 system finds the camera in the computer

Starting with Windows Vista, the system has no camera shortcuts. So, in Windows 7, even if the camera is loaded and working properly, its icon or shortcut is not visible.

If you want to see the camera in the computer, you can only put the camera program shortcuts to the computer.

Open the Start menu and right-click Computer to select Manage.

In the left column of the Computer Management window, double-click Device Manager. Then, locate the image device from the right column and click Open. Right-click on the camera device and select Properties.

On the Drivers tab, click Driver Details to see the detailed path to the. exe file (usually located under the system disk Windows folder). Note: You need to install the correct camera driver, otherwise there will be no executable files, the drive-free camera will not have *.exe files.

In the system disk, follow the path to find the program file, right mouse, select "Create Shortcut", stored on the desktop.

Back to the desktop, right-click the shortcut, "copy". Then open the following folder:

System disk: Users username appdataroamingmicrosoftwindowsnetwork shortcuts

For example C:usersxiaoyiappdataroamingmicrosoftwindowsnetwork shortcuts (AppData is a hidden folder.) If you don't see it, click the Organize-〉 folder and search options. On the View tab, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives. )

"Paste" the shortcut in.

Turn on computer and now you can see the camera icon.
