MS Pic and Fax viewer overriding correct file association.

[MikeC]

I can't seem to figure out this issue. Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer has somehow overridden the default applications when it comes to
double-clicking the file to open. Only when I right click the menu open and
select 'open' does the correct application open the image.
I have 3 non-MS apps that open various types of image files. I have forced
a re-association of these file within each application to no avail. So it
was time to go into Folder Options > file types and manually set the
association. However, every file in question is set properly.

So I did a Knowledge Base search, and the solution to a similar issue is to
set file association in folder options. Hmmmm.

Since I'm on the help board, does anyone know how to set Windows Explorer to
open to My Computer instead of My Documents?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks So Much.

Mike
