I have created an association with JPG's and a 3rd party picture viewer. I
now want to break that association and replace it with "Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer"--but I don't know the name of the EXE.

There isn't any. If you want to disable it, click START|RUN and type...
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

Right-click a *.jpg / click 'Open with' / if ..Viewer isn't shown then
'browse' for it.
or
Hold down 'Shift' key / right-click *.jpg / select or browse
Hopeing that you've come acros the Viewer then tick the box 'Allways open
with.

Alternatelly;
Look in 'Tools' menu / 'Folder Options...' / 'File Types' tab / scroll to
and select jpeg / click change button / hopefully you'll find the '..Viewer'
from here.

(as of incidence; 'Picture and Fax Viewer' isn't an executable, but a *.dll)

regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

I want to enable Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, not disable it. I tried
regsvr32 /i shumgvw.dll. No good. When I click on a JPG, I still get a
Program not found window.
