HKEY .gif &.jpg
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 |

HKEY .gif &.jpg
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: File Association Fixes http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm -- All the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP 2004 Windows MVP "Winny" Award Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "JAX" wrote in message ...
