Aloha, When in my windows explorer on my desktop computer:
I right click on any pictures and click PREVIEW instead of it opening up
in the Windows Picture and FAX Viewer; they are opening up in a different
programme. Please tell me WHERE to go to change this so that they open
up once again in my Windows Picture and FAX Viewer - THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.

Go to your start menu and open the control panel.

Look for an icon called Folder Options and open it. If you don't see this
icon, on the left bar below where it says Control Panel, look for the words
"Switch to Classic View" and click on it.

Select the third tab, labeled File Types.

Scroll down to JPG, the most common photo file type, and highlight it.
Below, it will say what program the file opens with, and offer a button
called Change.

Click on Change, and you will be presented with a list of options to choose
from. Change to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

Repeat steps 4 and 5 with extensions JPEG and JPE, two alternate
designations for the same type of photo.

Select OK to close the window.

Right click, choose 'open with'

At the bottom of that list click 'choose program'

Pick picture and fax viewer from the list, then click "always use this
program"

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!
It is SO MUCH easier to do things when you have answers and do not have to
spend 5 hours to figure something out. I really appreciate this
information. I changed things and I am going to print this out!
Yours most sincerely,
Antoinette
