How do i download pictures from my camera to the computer with just the usb data cable and not the software?

Answer:

Most cameras will connect as a remote disk. at that point just use the file explorer to see what you have and to transfer the files.
Alternatively, you can purchase a reader that connects to the USB port and allows you to read the camera memory card directly.
But then, why not just visit the web site of the camera manufacturer and download the software?
