Help with Picture and Fax Viewer conflict

[T. Waters]

Since I loaded Adobe Photoshop Elements (I also use IrfanView), my Windows
Picture and Fax viewer has gone into hiding, and does not launch when I
click on an image file. Kelly gave me some edits to run.

I ran both edits successfully. Still, PSE seems to be blocking the Picture
and Fax Viewer. PSE launches by default whenever I click on an image file. I
looked at the Properties for PSE, and nothing states that it is the default
viewer. Is there something within Windows I can change?
Or, HOW would I find the Viewer within Windows, in order to Open it
directly, rather than by clicking on a photo file? Has any one gone looking
for this utility? Where does it reside, as the Search function did not bring
it up by the name by which I know it. Does it have a file name different
from "Picture and Fax Viewer"?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What happens when you right click on an image and choose Open with ..?
And if the Windows and Fax Viewer isn't listed, is it listed under
"other programs"? If it's listed on both, choose "other programs" and
then tick the little box that says "always use this program ..."

rclick one of the files, Open With, Choose, and set the Picture and Fax
Viewer as the default.

I was not thinking, I guess. That was an easy fix, and all is well. Thanks!
