Guest speedy_mike Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 In the past, when I clicked on a .jpg file a microsoft (I think) viewer would show me the photo. I recently had to reload all software and now a third party software is doing it. I want to go back to the microsoft ... or have the ability to change the default photo viewer. How can I do that? Thanks much! Mike

Find and choose the program that you want, (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?), and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should make that program the default. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA
