hey all,
i opened office picture manage and it prompted me if i wanted to open all
images with picture manager and i accidently said yes. how do i reverse this
tragedy. i've gone into windows explorer/tools/Folder options/File types tab
and tried to change back there, rebooted machine and it still is using office
picture manager as default for images.

any ideas?
thanks,
rodchar

In My Computer, right-click on any jpg file and choose "Open with." Click
"Choose program," scroll through the list of programs to choose the one you
want, check the box "Always use this program...," and click OK.

Repeat for all the other file types you want to change the association for.

Actually in Picture Manager the file types need to be UNchecked or it
will thwart your attempts to change. Sort of like QuickTime shanghai's
file extensions.

Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with Picture Manager, and didn't know
that.

You're welcome, anything unchecked there will/should open with the
Default image handler.

Yes, thank you for that too, I didn't know that.
