I try to change the .jpg file association to another
program but when i go to the EXPLORER/TOOLS/FILE TYPES box
all buttons were disabled! So i can't click on the
change/edit button to change the current file association.
Can someone help me to do this???
How did i proceed to enable those buttons?

Antecipated thanks!

Using tip 108 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

1. Open a CMD.exe prompt.
2. type assoc .jpeg and assoc .jpg
3. These will return a string like
..jpg=jpgfile or .jpg=xxxxx
4. type ftype jpgfile or ftype xxxxxx
5. to change the open association, type something like
ftype jpgfile="fullpathtoexe" "%1"
