Until recently all the photos I uploaded from my camera were opened by windows picture and fax viewer, however now they automatically open with adobe
photoshop, which I don't really like. Is there any way I can go back to using the Windows viewer like before and set it as default? I've looked in
tools etc but can't seem to find anything. Any ideas please anyone?
Thanks Jane xxx |

Jane, its most likely your file associations pointing in the wrong direction.
I will assume that youre on XP for this (although Vista isnt all that different really). Right click on the picture file you wish to open, this brings up a menu. There will be a line which reads "Open With" hover your mouse over this line and a submenu will pop up. Click "Choose Program" A window will pop up which will allow you to choose the program you wish. In the white area of this box, in the "recommended programs" section, you should find "Windows picture and fax viewer", clicking this should turn it a different colour to show that its been selected. Now just below that white box, there is a line which reads "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" and next to this is a small box. Click on this box and a tick should appear in it. Click on OK and you should be good to go. Any problems, take 2 tablets and get plenty of bed rest. Andy x |

Andy
You are an absolute star!! Thank you so much for that. I knew it would be something really simple, but try as I might I couldn't work it out. I would've been needing the bed rest had someone not come up with a solution soon. Thanks again Jane xxx |
