Microsoft Photo Editor disappears

[Guest sengsational]

This happened to me on several machines. This time I did something

about it. I searched the registry and found that you just need to

delete the "InitialPosition" key. Buggy crap. This has been in there

since at least Windows 98.

 

Symptom:

 

Windows Photo Editor only shows in full screen. If you try to make it

windowed, it will "disappear", but still have a task bar icon, which

you can maximize back to full screen.

 

Solution:

 

regedit HKEY_USERS > (latest) > Software > Microsoft > Photo Editor >

3.0 > Microsoft Photo Editor

 

Delete InitialPosition key.

That sounds like data corruption; no such problems here on XP Pro SP2+.

We dumped it long ago and went with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for

picture viewing (which is about 95% of our users).

 

If user needs to edit pictures, we install Photofiltre.
