The icon appears when you plug a USB device in. The message
appears when you click on the icon.

What you need to do is open My Computer and find the camera
listed as a removable drive or whatever and download your
pictures. Even better is a flash card reader since it won't
use your camera batteries.

You can set the properties to prompt you for "action" when
you plug a USB device in, just as you can set actions for a
CD.
