Guest Euro Djuro Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, I have a Dell laptop running windows xp SP2 and I've just lost the windows fax and pricture viewer icon that normally represents all the jpgs and images that I have on the laptop. Instead I have the generic windows file icon (the one that does not know what the file type is). Before this happened, I updated Adobe and uninstalled the Adobe photoshop manager that is downloaded as part of upgrading to v.8 of Adobe reader. Does anyone know how I can get this default Icon back? Regards EuroDjuro

If you don't have one, here is a good freeware viewer: Irfanview: A very good freeware graphics viewer: http://www.irfanview.com/ -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Euro Djuro" <EuroDjuro@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A97ECC87-CBA7-4DAE-AFFD-E4ECF099D406@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I have a Dell laptop running windows xp SP2 and I've just lost the windows > fax and pricture viewer icon that normally represents all the jpgs and > images > that I have on the laptop.

Right-click, or shift/right-click an image. Click Open With, select "Fax and Picture Viewer", and check "Always use this program to open this type file". That should reassign the Fax and Picture Viewer as the default program, and give all that type image the proper icon. You may have to do that with each file type, .gif, .jpg and any others you want to open with Fax and Picture Viewer. -- Joe =o)
