How to disable - Photo Printing Wizard ?

[Rajesh]

We are currently using Windows XP SP2 on all our PCs. When user wants to
print .JPG file from e-mail or from any where, they have to go thorugh
Windows photo print wizard which is a bit annoying.

Is there any way, user can print directly to the printer without going
through this print wizard?

Any help is appricated.

Yes, assign MS Paint to open .jpg files instead. (r-click .jpg, Open
With, Choose, Always use this program, and then MS Paint.) That will
bypass the Printing Wizard.(you may not like the printed results, but
thats up to you)

Thanks Bob. I knew this solution but the output is not as expected as we have
to go through the landscape / portrait adjustments every time. Any solutions
on directly printing from picture and fax viewer or Microsoft Imaging builin
applications?

Let me know.

Thanks anyways.

No, the Photo print wizard IS the print formatter. Try some other 3rd
party program like "Irfanview" or "picasa".
