Outlook tries to open .jpg files using MS Word, how do I fix this

[Guest]

When I receive .jpg pictures in MS Outlook and try to open them the program
tries to use Word to view them. I have looked at every option in Outlook and
can not find one that lets me select a photo viewer of any kind. Right
clicking on the file does not offer an "open with" option. Any suggetsions
for a fix?

Save the file to the hard drive. Right click the file in Windows Explorer.
Select Open With .... Select 'Choose Program' Pick the application you want
to open jpg files with (probably Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) and check
the 'always open with this application' check box..

Your jpg attachments should now open with this application.
