Does anyone know of a program that will let me control my Nikon D3100 from my computer via usb?

Lightroom 3 has tethering. If you are on Mac, Aperture has it also. There's also one from Nikon called Camera Control Pro (costs $), and a free one that someone made using the API (forgot the name of it, sorry).

Nikontrol 3k is the free one

Yes and upvotes to all that - but if you're on a Mac, Sofortbild (free) is the slickest.
(And OP, if you're talking about writing software, Nikon has an SDK available.)

I think the Canon tool would work on any camera, not just Canons. I've worked both it and Lightroom, and they worked a charm.

I was wrong vwllss is right.

I haven't checked recently but I believe this incorrect.
First of all the proper name for the program is Capture Control Pro 2, and I don't believe it supports the D3100.

o guess your right. Nikon capture is like dpp or lightroom

Gphoto2 if you use Linux. Lets you take sequences of shots (say, 100 shots 2 secs apart, or whatever) and other things.

If you are on a Mac, Image Capture.app (It is on a standard OS X install) can also do tethering with most modern cameras.
