Windows Explorer Default Options

[M A Lurker]

I've recently installed some digital image software -- actually three or
four different programs -- and one of them changed the options that are
available to me when I right click a picture file in Windows Explorer (from
Windows XP). It used to be that when I was in Windows Explorer, and I right
clicked a picture file, one of the options I had available to me was to
print the picture. It would then take me into some wizard program that did
everything that I wanted it to. One of the programs that I installed (don't
know which one) took the print option in Windows Explorer away from me.
It's just not there anymore.

Also, it used to be that when I right clicked a picture file and selected
"send to/mail recipient" it would give me the option of selecting the image
file size that I was emailing. That's gone now too, and everything goes out
full size, which is a bummer since I have 6.1 camera -- huge files!

Each of the image software programs that I've installed has these printing
and emailing options built in, but I can't make any of the programs do
exactly what I want to do, as easily as I could with Windows Explorer.

I don't want to delete the new digital image programs that I have installed
(unless I have to), but I do want to get back to the Windows Explorer
options that I used to have. Obviously one of the programs that I installed
wants me to use it, instead of the Windows Explorer options, to do the
printing and emailing.

I have all of the following programs installed (don't ask, long story):

- Dell Picture Studio
- Roxio PhotoSuite 4
- Ulead Photo Explorer 8.0
- Ulead Photo Impact Pro 8.5
- Adobe Photo Deluxe 2.0
- Adobe PhotoShop Elements 2.0
- Adobe PhotoShop Album 2.0

I'm sure that one of these programs is the culprit, but I don't know which
one.

Thanks in advance for your help in restoring my Windows Explorer Defaults.

==================================
First....try this, maybe it will restore the options:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"

Hey John ... tell your bosses that you deserve a raise. I've been reading
your replies to other messages (to hopefully learn something) since your
answer for me was right on. You know EVERYTHING. You must have a magic eye
that can see inside our systems.

Keep up the good work buddy!

Thanks ...
