Excuse me butting in but you certainly should not change theirs to
match yours when yours is non-standard.
They won't have the same photo software, so "OISJpegfile" will produce
an error.
Frank's site has the normal Windows default, so please use that.
XP has IE as standard for JPG and "jpegfile" will point to that.
If they are not happy using Regedit, then try this:
Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Rightclick fix.reg and select Merge
-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jfif]
@="jpegfile"
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpe]
@="jpegfile"
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg]
@="jpegfile"
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg]
@="jpegfile"
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"
//reset JPG back to IE
---- end file above here
