no file format information can be found in registry

[Captain Zod]

So, I look up the microsoft's site and they show changing permission
in registry for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\Graphics Filters will solve the problem.

My question is that what the heck do you do when this great piece of
information does not do the trick?

I have win2k sp4 and have problems double clicking pictures to get it
to show with the photo editor. I am going to reboot. When in doubt
about windows just reboot
