Add Autoplay option for Faststone Image viewer

I am using Windows 10 and when I plug in my camera it gives me a number of 'autoplay' options. Unfortunately Faststone isnt one of the options, how can I add an option so that when I connect my camera it opens Faststone image viewer?

Thanks

    Possibly it just considers the camera to be another storage device. I just tried it with mine and one on the AutoPlay options is Open device to view files (File Explorer). Selecting this will just open the main folder on the camera then you can navigate to the folder with the content and open with your default viewer. (at least, that's how mine works)

    My apologies I wasnt very clear, I want to use Faststone to import photos from my camera when I connect it. It seems the Autoplay options are rigid and you cannot manually add another option, am I right?

    From this link:-

    it looks like you can modify the settings but, as I'm not using Windows 10, I'm not sure if it will do what you want.

    Thanks but unfortunately you can only select autoplay options from a dropdown, if the program you want in the dropdown is not listed there is no way to add it. I think in this case I will just have to open it manually. Oh well.....
