Email jpeg image does not open in Widown Picture/Fax Viewer

[Guest]

Every time I click on a jpeg image sent to me in a email it opens JASC Paint
Shop. How do I get the image to open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?

Thanks

Hi,

Open JASC's options and disable where it makes itself the default program
for .jpg's.

Open Windows Explorer and find a .jpg file.
Right click the file and select Open With from the menu.
Select Choose Program from the menu.
Scroll down to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and select it.
Place a check mark in the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
Click OK.

This will associate that file type with the selected program.

thanks for the help ... it fixed it for jpeg files on my computer. But when
I open a a image##.jpg file type that I was sent in an email (using Outlook
Express), it opened it with JASC Paint. So I went into Paint Tools and
unclicked the box that sets JASC Paint as the default editor and default
viewer.

No luck ... anything else I can do ... Thanks ...
