want to change File Type association

[Jack]

I am trying to get Windows Explore to use Ulead's PhotoImpact 7 to open JPEG
files when selecting several at once. The current default is Microsoft
Photo Editor. When I go to Folder Options/File Types/JPEG/Change/Open
With/Browse/ and select Iedit.exe (the PhotoImpact 7 program) and click
Open, I'm taken back to the window "Open With" and PhotoImpact is still not
included in the list. What am I supposed to do?

Go to folder options/file types/jpeg/advanced. select open and then edit. Use the browse button to change the application path. Double check your .exe file to make sure it really is the PhotoImpact 7 program file

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can be stubborn letting go of an association.
If you use the following method, you should be able to do what you want.
Right click a JPG (or for any other image file type), then left click: OPEN
WITH.

DON'T select a program from THAT list, but left click on CHOOSE PROGRAM. An
OPEN WITH dialog box will come up. Click the Browse button, and then
navigate to the .exe file for the program (If you don't know the path to, or
the name of the exe file for that program, right click its desktop shortcut
or Start Menu item and then left click Properties to get that information)
that you want to open the image with, select it so it's highlighted, then
click the Open button. That will bring you back to the Open With window.
Click to put a checkmark to the left of the option:

ALWAYS USE THE SELECTED PROGRAM TO OPEN THIS KIND OF FILE

Then click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog box.
You'll have to repeat that process for each type of image file that you
want to associate with that program.
