Somehow I have a program that took over all of the picture files. Everything on my computer is save as a 602photo suite file, or should I say tries to open in the 602 photo program. I would like my pictures to open up into a different program such as paint. How do I change my settings to make paint my default viewer.
I know it must be an easy fix. |

Right click on the file, select 'open with', pick the program you want to use and check 'always use this'.

In Windows you gan globally change the program that automatically opens a specific file type.
START --> CONTROL PANEL --> FOLDER OPTIONS Select FILE TYPES Locate the extention you want to change (ie. .jpg) Towards the bottom you will see "Opens With:" and a Change button. Click CHANGE Locate the app you want to use. Click OK Enjoy ! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Or what Howard said works easy as well. |
