SP 2 error / change image editor default

[Guest]

I have XP pro. .Can anyone tell me how to change my image editor back to the
MS PHOTO EDITOR.

I Just installed SP2 . Before install , the default pic viewer was the MS
WINDOWS PICTURE AND FAX VIEWER and at the bottom right , when I clicked on
the icon to close the viewer and open the IMAGE EDITING , the default program
was the MS PHOTO EDITOR .

Since the install , it changed to MS PAINT as the default IMAGE EDITOR.

This may not be the best way, but should work.
in any explorer ('windows'), go to menu Tools>> File Types [tab], select the image types (such as Jpeg), click the Change
button. Choose program or "other button if Ms Photo Editor not in list offered.

Thanks for the idea , except there is only a way to change the Picture Viewer
in there and not the Picture editor. I appreciate your help though....this
thing is a big pain to fix !!!

Joe,

The key should exist in XP Home as well as in Pro.
