I have a Minolta digital camera and I have both Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software. When I plug in the digital camera through the USB port and turn it on, a dialog box comes up that has several choices for how to open the photos such as "Show a slide show", "Open and Edit in Photoshop Elements", etc., however there is not a choice for Photoshop 7.0 which is what I really want to use. Is there any way to add a specific option for the Autoplay for picture files?

I clicked on the properties of the digital camera and saw the Autoplay tab, where you were able to select the type of file (picture, audio, etc.) and then it had all of the choices (some I described above). There were about 8 different choices for picture files, one of which was Photoshop Elements.
I tried to uninstall Elements to see if Photoshop 7.0 would take its place, but it did not. I originally had installed the camera, then Photoshop Elements, then Photoshop 7.0. I tried to uninstall the camera viewer and driver and reinstall so that maybe it would recongize that Photoshop 7.0 was there. It did not work.

I think what has probably happened is Windows has assigned the specific file types in question to Photoshop Elements. When you doule click on an image file does it try to open elements or go straight into Photoshop 7.0?
