Thank you Kelly,

After my post, I downloaded one of the scripts from that site and saw that
it was version 4, when I opened edit. I will follow your, as always,
excellent advice.

BTW, I like the way you have your web-site set up now.

The best to you,
JAX

Hi Jax,

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
For Content Type, it should read "image/jpeg".

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg
For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
For Content Type is should read "image/gif"

If it already set to that, go to Start, Run and type in: regsvr32 /i
shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 /i shdoc401.dll,regsvr32 webvw.dll and regsvr32
thumbvw.dll (for upgrades).

Those edits are written to Regedit4. Not that they are wrong, just not
written specifically for XP.

I would suggest:

A response to a post about the infamous red X brought my attention to the
registry. I too have been having problems with web page jpeg's. The
response
was from an MVP but, I was unable to post back to that thread. His
advice
directed the OP to change a value in the registry. I opened the registry
to
compare it with what he suggested. The string he mentioned was not even
there.

After some research, I believe that something I have installed has
changed
the defaults for both .gif and .jpg in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The only
sub-keys
that show in either are "OpenWithProgids" and "PersistentHandler". So
far,
I
have failed to find information as to what should be there. I did,
however,
find a web page that offered a script to restore each to their default.
Unfortunately, I found no indication whether his script was applicable
to
XP
Pro. If anyone cares to look, the link is;
http://www.waynescomputerworld.com/graphicassoc.html

Could someone either confirm the validity of the offerings on that site
or,
point me toward more information on the subject?
(BTW, my problem is not caused by temporary internet files and SR is not
an
option.)

TIA, JAX
