How to Change handler associated with MIME type image/tiff?

[Spoon2001]

On my system IE7 was configured to handle data of MIME type "image/tiff" or
"image/x-tiff" using the Apple QuickTime Plugin. I turned off this
association. Anybody know how to restore the default handler for these MIME
types?

One relevant registry key is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/tiff

Background - My file manager utility uses IE to display files in a file
viewer pane. When I try to view a TIF file, it starts up QuickTime Plugin,
because IE is configured to use QuickTime Plugin for that MIME type. But I
don't want the QuickTime Plugin to handle this. I'd like to activate he
standard file viewer for image files, if it can handle TIF files.

Easiest way, without manually editing the registry, is to right click a
..tiff or .tif file on your system, click Open with..., click Choose
Program...click to highlight the viewer you want to use, check the box at
the bottom, "Always use....", click Okay.
