I would like to set up the windows picture and fax viewer
as my default for viewing pictures. My computer is using
the microsoft photo editor, which I don't like. How can I
change the default? Thanks......Jill

If the above does work, do the following.
Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the opening textbox:

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
After running this command, try the above setting procedure again.
