Windows Picture and Fax Viewer Configuration
Can anyone tell me how to reset the configuration of the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer utility back to its default settings?
When you use this utility to rotate an image, it sometimes displays the message: Because of the dimensions of this picture, rotating it might permanently reduce its quality. Rotating a picture automatically saves it using the original name. To save a backup copy first, see 'Copy an image' in Help. Do you want to proceed? If you put a check next to In the future, do not show me this dialog box and click on the No button, you will never be able to use the rotate function again. I am trying to find out how to undo this combination of settings, and I have so far been unable to find any information on controlling the configuration of this utility. Can anyone give me a clue where it might be? Thanks in advance. |

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer Configuration
Hi Ellis,
Preview a picture using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Then press and hold the CTRL key, and then close Windows Picture and Fax Viewer window (by pressing the [X] button in the top right corner). You'll then see the following message: Any rotation warnings that you may have suppressed have been reset, and may appear again when you rotate a picture. Click OK. The Rotate functionality is now restored back. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Ellis Hillinger" wrote in message ...

Open a picture in the Windows Picture And Fax Viewer. Hold down the Ctrl key and left click the
X at the top right corner of the window. This should reset the rotate option and the warnings. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Ellis Hillinger" wrote in message ...
