Default viewer for Photos?

[Guest]

My wife loaded Kodak Photo program and now my PC is using Kodak as the
default viewer and it causes me problems.
Where do I go to change the default program setting for opening photos?
Many Thanks!

===================================
Have a look at this article:

(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859

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...

fast.... anyways. it's Simple

Click any jpg or any image files and press alt+enter or go to it's
properties and change the open with... from that Kodak..... to Windows Fax

where you can Select the opeining Application..... you can choose any image

Thanks for your advice. I too was looking for a solution to this problem,
although for some reason, my computer suddenly decided that Paint Shop Pro
would be my default prog. Ted
