Yes you can. First drag it from the start menu to the desktop to create a shortcut. Then pin the shortcut to the taskbar, or darg it to the taskbar. Simple.

First, that software is not W7 compatible, and older software, even though it will run under W7, have many limitations with the UI.

Secondly, updated software should be available from most vendors pretty quickly, if noit already available. Microsoft saw this as the major failure point, marketing-wise, with Vista, and worked with thousands of vendors well before the release to make sure that updated software, fully W7 compatible, was or would be available at or near launch.

Just thought I'd pass on my own experience here. I use a Minolta S414, which I bought around 5 years ago. Yes it's old, and 4 megapixel is off todays mark, but it's a fine camera that I really like using.

Well I've been using the same 64MB Compact Flash card in this camera since day one. The frame counter is over 5000 shots now, and the card only holds 28 photos max. So with some rough division, thats at minimum 178 times I've removed the card from the camera, and we can add that same number again for the times I put the card in the memory card reader. So 350 insert/remove cycles and no sign of trouble yet.

My brother uses SD format cards in his two Canon point and shoots, and his Pentax SLR. All his frame counters are double what my camera registers, and he's had no problems with wear. He even uses his SD cards part time for data transport drives, when needed.

So in general, this technology would appear to be rather robust.
