Click to expand...

Right click on the file, use Open With...(Choose) and find a
program that will open that file. Then set it as the default for
that file type. If that is not appropreate for your system then
look up 'associating files' in your Windows Help index for
instructions specific to your system.

Hi Andy,

This sounds like the Photo Editor problem where it is "trying to access registry keys
that require permissions that your account does not have." The workaround is to give
"Users" Full Control of this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools

For more information, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
