Another way to enable Print icon in My Pictures for Windows 2000

 

I have a Windows 2000 installation that has no Microsoft Office in it so

what I have is a basic installation of Windows 2000. I wanted to show an

improved way of enabling the printer icon in the My Pictures folder of

Windows 2000. The trouble is that there is no setting for print in the file

types of jpg. So what we will do is put one in. I am sure whatever can

print a html page can also print a jpg well because html pages on the Net

can print pictures just fine usually...

Anyway let's give it a shot. We actually have two choices here maybe more

if you have installed Microsoft Office. Let's go with Windows Explorer.

Start | Run | explorer | OK. Then Tools | Folder Options... | File Types.

 

Now we will scroll down to files of type html and click Advanced. Look for

the extension HTML. After we select Advanced we will select print and then

Edit... Select all of what is in the box Application used to perform

action: and right-click choose copy. Close this out hitting Cancel and then

Cancel again. Now go to files of type JPEG Image and select the extension

JPG. Now click Advanced. Click New... and for the Action: put in Print.

Now for the Application used to perform action: put the cursor in the box

right-click choose paste. Then OK | OK | OK. Now open a new Explorer

window and go to My Pictures under My Documents select a jpg file and you

should see the Printer Icon enabled and when you click it your jpg should

print.

 

Finally there is another choice for the Application used to perform: action

using what the default is for printing tif files. Use the method as above

that we used for html files and againt the printer icon should enable in My

Pictures and clicking it should print the image.

 

Hope this way is a litte better than my last post on this issue.
