I was wondering: Where can I choose which program I want my photos
automatically to open in? I've recently installed AdobePhotoshop, but I
missed the part where you choose NOT to let l your photos open in Photoshop.

The file associations control which program opens which files. There are
four ways to accomplish this task.
1. Right click on one of the images, and select the "open with" tab.
Select whichever one you wish to use, and select the option to extend this
selection to all files of the given type.
2. In Windows Explorer, select Folder Options, then select the option to
manage file associations.
3. In the Control Panel, select Folder Options, then select the option to
manage file associations.
4. There is a registry area which defines file associations.

You can obtain more complete help on the first 3 methods from Help &
Support. You should print the instructions because it is so difficult to
follow them on the screen.

You are on your own in making changes to the registry.

in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859

More info:

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.

If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and choose

you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
