Wow, let's see. Some time back (and I don't even really
remember when now) and for some reason (which I also
don't even remember now) I changed my picture viewer to
QuickTime. Now all photos I upload (from my cameras, ect)
and ALL my pictures in ALL my folders across ALL my user
accounts are now in QuickTime. How can I change back to
the original (default) format? I don't want this
QuickTime anymore. I can not view mpegs at all because of
my pictures being in QuickTime. There must be a way to
change this back to the original setting/default. But I
can't seem to figure this out or find anywhere where this
can be done. Any ideas out there? I would most sincerely
appreciate any help anyone might be able to provide. (I
am Windows XP Home Edition).
Many, many thanks....................... Gingerfan

in Windows XP

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...
