   Check; read and understood the funnybusiness about virtual folder.
   Have a Nikon and a GE digital camera, and they always show a drive 
with folder "tree".
   Never seen a folder with that strange name \Removable storage 
anywhere in the tree.
   Attached minimal screen capture; only thing weird is naming as "Sony" 
which is the thumbdrive i usually use (camera went squirrely once and 
now alive again).
