You don't.  But you can tell the computer to default to using Image 
Capture (part of OS X, not Canon's software).  Image Capture lets you 
either download all pix with a single click, or select particular ones 
to download - and even lets you do a little manipulation before 
downloading if you like.

Applications->Image Capture

Start it up.  Plug in the camera.  The camera should show up in the 
list of devices/sources on the left.  Click on the camera and tell it 
to use Image Capture by default.  Do as you like.

It's really quite nice, actually.
