I use XP for Scanning and printing .jpg photos every day.

I bought Irfanview and loaded it on my machine and it made
itself the default picure editor.

I cannot figure out how to return to the Picture and Fax
viewer as my default editor. What is the filename of
Picture and Fax Viewer so I can find and run it?

You *bought* Irfanview? How did you
manage to buy a free program?

You can easily change your image associations.

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list. Once you
make your selection...be sure to check the box
that says: "Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...

Not nitpicking but FYI
Picture and Fax viewer doesn't show up in either method mentioned so there's no way to 'choose' it to open graphic files.
I've been trying to find a method to 'call' it from within PaperPort - it was the default until an Internet Explorer update set itself up as the default.

I guess your operating system is Windows XP?

If you open a folder that contains image files...
"My Pictures" for example....and double click an
image file...what program opens the image?
