Handler for Outlook attachments

B

Barry Watzman

The default handler for JPEG files on my system (XP) is the Windows
Picture and Fax viewer. If I click on a JPEG (JPG) file, the picture
and fax viewer opens that file (picture) by default.

BUT, if I click on a JPEG (JPG) attachment in an outlook E-Mail, it
opens with Corel Photo-Paint instead of the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer. Clearly, the "file association" used by outlook to open
attachments is different from the overall Windows XP "file association"
for the same filetype.

How can I change this behavior so that the Windows default handler for
the filetype is also used by Outlook?

Thanks
