Corel Photo Album 6.3 And Adobe Photoshop Album 3 keep
seizing my .jpg files and opening them in preference to
Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, which I want to be the
default viewer.
How do I make Windows Picture And Fax viewer the default
viewer and kick the other two viewers in the rumpus?
Thanks.

More info:
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.
If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"
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...you can right click an image and choose

you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.
Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
