Setting default program for viewing pictures

[Digitdan]

How do I set the default program for viewing picture
attachments? I use Outlook Express 6 and when I click to
open an attached picture it opens to JASC Paint Shop Pro
8 but no picture appears. In the past Explorer opened up
my pictures. Can any one give me the steps to change the
default from paint Shop to Explorer??

Hi Digitdan,

Change the program that starts when you open a file

Many file types in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 are registered to
be opened by a particular program. For example, Notepad starts when you
want to open a text (.txt) file. You can change the program that starts
when you open a file of a certain type.

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the Tools menu, click Folder
Options, and then click the File Types tab.
In the Registered file types list, click the file type you want to open
with a different program, and then click Change.
In the Open With dialog box, select the program you want to use, and then
click OK.
Click OK in the Folder Options dialog box.

Please let me know has this helped You...
Thank you...

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
