How can I change the default photo viewing software in
XP? I recently loaded Kodak EasyShare software to see
how it did editing. Now whenever I click on a jpg file
in My Pictures, the EasyShare software comes up as the
viewing software - which I do not want. How can I change
this to a different default viewing software? I can't
find anything in options or preferences that enables me
to make a change.

====================================
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. 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...in WinXP, you can open a folder and go to...
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...

After you selected the editor you wanted
did you place a check in the box that says
"Always use the selected program to open
this kind of file".
