Where is my Picture Manager in XP Home edition?

I used to be able to view my pictures in what I believe was Picture Manager.
It had basic editing and click-through-slide-presentation (i.e., picts
displayed one at a time with arrow buttons). This program launched
automatically whenever I clicked on a picture in My Picture folder. Now, all
I get is a "picture viewer" in Quicktime window. What's happened?

I believe this occurred after I downloaded the XP updates recommended by
Microsoft.

How do I get that basic Picture Manager back?

Thanks Much for any assistance.

One of the first things you should do is open Quicktime, go to
Edit>Preferences>Quicktime preferences. USe the drop down box to choose the
item "File type associations" and remove the ticks from the top box and the
bottom box (Windows filetypes and Internet filetypes respectively) Exit out
of these settings and then out of Quicktime. This should have now reset the
Windows default picture viewer. This may possibly require a reboot.
