I would like to reset my computer (windows XP home) so that when I open a
picture the fax/picture viewer program opens and not the Huge Adobe program
(which I only need for playing with the pictures). Any help to resetting
this? thanks.

Click to expand...
===================================
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. 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
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...

Just start up microsoft picture it or any other picture-viewing program
FIRST, then access the .jpg (e.g from your desktop) from that
program..should work fine
