What happened to "Image Preview" under Windows XP?

[John Smith]

All of a sudden, when I right-click on an image in Windows Explorer under
Windows XP Pro, the option to "Preview" is no longer there.

Help!

Thanks much,

John

If in fact it was "all of a sudden", then try system restore, preferably. Or
if you don't want to go that route, right click a given image, select open
with, locate "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". Highlight it and check off
"always use the selected program...".
