How to disable the camera and scanner wizard

The scanner and camera wizard pops up whenever you plug in a digital camera. There was a time today when we wanted to disable this feature as it would become a problem when this came up on a client being used only for a Citrix desktop.
We fought with autoplay and that did not fix the problem of the scanner and camera wizard showing up. Finally to get rid of the scanner and camera wizard we went into the services and disabled the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service
Nice, the Wizard pops up whenever I dock my iPhone! Thank you!
Works, but you disable all functionality for all such devices (other cameras, scanners, …)
You might want to …
open “My Computer”,
locate the device,
go to it’s properties (from the context menu),
select the “Events” tab,
and choose “Take no action”
Just wanted to mention that Services is in Administrative Tools, which is in Control Panel.
