Default HKEY .gif &.jpg

Attached should be the FULL contents of those 2 keys on my machine (XP Home)
Right-click either and choose edit to view their contents or just click on
them to add their contents to the registry.

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

Could someone either confirm the validity of the offerings on that site

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:

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.)

Most welcome and thanks, Jax! )

As per reg4 - it works universally in Windows. However, getting these edits
from someone you don't know means you have to verify each and every value it
contains to see if it was indeed meant for XP. Keys and values can differ
greatly between Win9x and XP.

As per reg5 - it only works in XP.

I prefer keeping the edits separate between the operating systems. That way
you know the one's you can modify without verification because it was either
exported from or created for XP.

Note: reg4 can be selected when exporting from XP. But again, when running
across one, you really don't know from which type of system it was extracted
from or created for. Why take the chance? )

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:
