changing default viewer?

[Bubba]

My system currently flips over to Adobe Photoshop whenever I try to open a
JPG file. How do I change the default viewer back to the Windows viewer?

TIA

Right click on a .jpg > choose program >click the program you
want> click always use the selected program for this type of
file.

If WB method fixed it, i think it will be fast. I spent 2 days to set my
jpg, bmp, gif, png back to Windows Picture and fax viewer. I know that it is
shimgvw.dll but i can't fix it by Folder Option > File Types because it
does't accept dlls. I can't remember how i fixed it ..

Sorry, missed a step, too late at night!

Right click on a .jpg > open with >choose program >click the
program you want> click "always use the selected program for
this type of
file"> OK

Obvious to you, certainly not to all.
