Images open in wrong folder

[Ray]

WindowsXP Sp2 OE6

Sometimes when I click on a jpg image in OE it opens in an animation program.
Ordinarily they open in Irfanview. How can I change whatever to get all
images to open in the same program?

Hi Ray,

In IrfanView, select the Options>Set File Associations, and make sure you
have jpg and jp2 selected.

Also because this only happens 'sometimes' it indicates that those files
that open in your other program are not realy jpg files (they have a jpg
extension but have something elese internally... this is a way malicious
software can be installed on your machine!)

I am quite sure that there was a setting in IE to 'Open files based on
content rather than extension' but I couldn't find it sorry. So have a look
yourself.

Regards.

Thanks, Rob.
Uninstalled the program which seemed to be hijacking the images and now opens
in Irfanview again.
