Hello All,

I have installed some software which set itself up as the
default program for viewing *.JPG images. I have since
uninstalled this program but am now unable to open *.JPG
images as there is no associated program.

Does anyone know how I can associate this file type with
the standard XP photo viewer which it has always used
previouslly? As I cannot find the file to do this?

Any assistance grately appreciated!

Cheers

George

Open Windows Explorer and got to TOOLS - FOLDER OPTIONS - FILE TYPES.
Click on JPG and choose CHANGE.
Choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Right click any JPG then Open With then Choose Program. Pick Windows
Picture & Fax Viewer and make sure there's a tick in "Always use this
program....".
