Viewing jpgs in IE after SP2 update

[Tom]

Hi all. I have just updated with the Service Pack 2 and
have noticed an annoying little change in IE: When
attempting to view jpg attachments in Yahoo Mail, IE/my
computer automatically launches Adobe Photoshop for
displaying the image. Previously, the image would be
opened either directly in IE or with the Windows image
viewer. I haven't yet worked out whether this only
happens with Yahoo Mail or if it does that same with
other URLs that end in .jpg, for example. But it
is annoying me as Photoshop is a large programme and
takes quite a while to open. Suggestions anyone?

Hi,
To restore the default file association, go to
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm Download, unzip and merge the REG
file, "JPE/JPG/JPEG Association Fix"

Some image/graphics programs will change file associations.

Hope this helps,
Don
