I have a flash card that I want to move the contents to a folder on my computer every time I put it in my flash drive.
Any ideas how to do this?

You need some way of triggering the event (inserting the card) Another way would be to put a Dos command into a batch file, put the file on your desktop, then when you insert your memory card you click on the batch file icon to run the command. eg the following command,

move (flash drive letter)\DCIM\Camera model\*.* C:\images

should move all your files from your card to a folder on your harddrive in the root directory (C:) called images.
Write your own in Notepad (must be a text file) and save it as something like movefiles.bat
There other commands you can include in this file to display progress etc., but the above will do what you want if you get the file locations correct.

That is an OS question.
I suggest you post to an OS group.

Adobe Elements 3 includes this feature. I thought it might be included in Photoshop too.

That’s correct and it’s a pain in the arse.
