My email picture attachments in Microsoft Outlook 2000 are for some reason
defaulting to my photo editor program which doesn't automatically view the
picture. Additional steps must be taken. How can I reset the default
program for quick viewing such as Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. (or is
there a default program that it is supposed to use in Outlook?

Outlook doesn't control this but Windows. You can set this in Control
Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types

How do we set this in control panel>folder options> file types. I did not
find a way , while looking at the file types. I have lots of file types
listed, I would think they all should be active.

What OS are you using? In XP, Save a picture to My Documents (or use one
with the same extension that is already in my documents or my pictures).
Right click on it and choose Open with... then more options. Select the
viewer you want to use and check the box to always use that one.

Diane;

I have Windows XP Home.

I do not think that answers my question. How , ever I'll see what happens.

Why, when I get an attachment to my email, it does not show up in the
email, but I get a icon with a red x , when I right click on it I get menu,
select all . When I left click on it nothing shows.

I can click on the attachment an open it in my Corel Photo.

The attachments used to show up in the email also, and I could print them
off from there , without opening the attachment.

Thanks , Imo

I am not having the problem with my other files and documents pics They all
open fine also with the open with option if you want to change it. The
problem only exists in my Outlook. Outlook does not give you the Open With
option.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

How do you go about resetting your Outlook attachment default program with
these instructions? I am not sure what to do.

Use the Folder Options applet in Control Panel.

Outlook uses what is defined in the OS, it doesn't have it's own setting.

What are your exact symptoms?

You should have mentioned the red x in the original message - 'defaulting to
my photo editor program which doesn't automatically view the picture.
Additional steps must be taken.' is a different issue.

Assuming there is no text telling you to 'right click here to download
pictures' and the images show if you hit reply or forward, try emptying the
securetemp folder.
