How do I change which program opens
up My Pictures folder? Whenever I go to
use the Microsoft "My Pictures" as my browser
JASC Paint Shop Photo program opens up
the pictures. How do I make Microsoft the
default program?
Thanks

More info:
Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.
Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.
If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"
Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)
Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.
Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
