Default Desktop pic Program ???

I have been having trouble printing JPG pics. The only one that seems
to work is the one I get when I right-click on a desktop jpg icon
which brings up a niceprogram with a nice selection window allowing me
to do in part 1,2,4,..... pics per page. If I select 1 pic per page,
the result is a nice 8X10 pic. Not only do I not get this app any
other way, but their results are not 8X10,

How do I select the app that works? IOW, where and what is it?
Seems stupid, but I really would like to create an icon shortcut to
it, whatever it is.
Thanks
xxxxx

When the program comes up to print, just go to the help- about and find
the name of the program.

If you can find it in either C:\program files or C:\program files (x86)
then all you have to do to make it the default program in explorer is
right click the jpg in explorer and find the 'open with' on that
dropdown. Click 'open with' and see if the program is in the list
first, if not there is a more. And if not there there is a browse, and
you need to find the .exe in C:\program files or program files (x86).
Make sure you have the box checked that says 'always use this program'.

Once you do it, it will become the default when you just double click a
jpg. You can change it to something else this way, or any file for
that matter.

Just type Photos in the Windows 10 search box and see what turns up.
Windows 10 has got a very good photos program that can do almost
anything including some minor edits. It can print good quality images
provided you've got the right printer to do it. A color laser printer
will work so will any inkJet machine (assuming people are still using
this with its hidden charges!!).

Another nym-shifter asking stupid question to start a useless thread.

This is an example of the always-helpful Windows UI.

https://i.postimg.cc/0yVj2PY4/photos-Win10-App.gif

*******

OK, now go to Start : Run (right-click the Start Orb)

Type in this, then Enter.

shell:appsfolder

A fake folder will appear on the screen. Scroll until
you see Photos icon. You can make a shortcut icon on
your desktop. Big deal!

The only problem with this, is the registry entries haven't
been set up properly to make it work.

The shortcut only opens in management mode, not in viewer mode.

You can't drag and drop a file onto it, because it has
no DropTarget registry entry.

It's beyond my pay scale to fix it.

If you stray too far off target, you'll be headed into DefaultApp
territory. And the objective here is not to trash your
computer, it was to make it a little more friendly.

Those blue "?" help circles don't always go where
you think they do. They might not be rigged to actually
help with the dialog they're located in. They can cause
Edge browser to pop up and load some page from Microsoft.
And all too often in the past, the linkage on things
like that was broken.

It would be against any design principle of "we're making
a smartphone out of your desktop", to put a menu bar. The
idea is, to dumb down the interface, even if the desktop
user happens to have a 27 inch monitor and can see from
here to eternity.

I had said 'goodbye', but you guys have been good enuff to try to
help me, so here I be:

I tried Task Manager - saw nothing relevant. That seemed like a good
bet to me too. I wonder if W7 on my other PC might do better in this
regard? Let ya know.
Thanks a meg

I hope I never think I have outsmarted the rest of the world.

OK, I tried simulating the issue here.

What I see is, once you get into the "Photos" App in
View mode, clicking the Print icon in the right hand
corner, opens your *printer software* dialog.

That's the reason I cannot reproduce your imgur picture.
You're using an Epson printer driver, and the two-up
printer feature comes from Epson.

https://imgur.com/a/v7QyPAZ

When I enter the Print dialog, I get to select some
printer from a drop down menu. But, it doesn't successfully
do N-Up. If I enter the advanced settings, it "promises"
to do more photos per page, but once I exit the advanced
settings page, it still puts one stinking picture on the
page.

To select multiple photos, I had to go into Photos
in Organize mode, and "add" the photos to my Collection.
Then I was able to do "Select All", not with the normal
control-A a person might use. Instead, I had to use that
stupid button at the top labeled "Select All".

Once I did that, I tried printing again. I still
only get a single page of output with a single
tiny dinky picture on it.

The very definition of useless!!!

And yet, Microsoft wants to push that crap, when Irfanview
would make a fine replacement.

I didn't think Irfanview did multiple pics per page, a feature that I
really like. . I'll take another look at that.
