Unable to Open Images in Same Window
The information in this article applies to:
a.. Microsoft Windows 95
b.. Microsoft Windows 98
c.. Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
This article was previously published under Q253788
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a .jpg file or any other image file, the image may
be opened in a separate instance of the program that is associated with the
image file type. For example, if Iexplore.exe is associated with .jpg files
and you open multiple .jpg files in Windows Explorer, each .jpg file is
opened in a new instance of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) parameters are not
specified in the file association properties for the image file type.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
1.. In Windows Explorer, on the View menu, click Folder Options.
2.. On the File Types tab, click the file type you want to edit (for
example, JPEG), and then click Edit.
3.. In the Actions area, click Open, and then click Edit.
4.. Click to select the Use DDE check box.
5.. Fill in the DDE commands that are required for the program that is
associated with the file type being edited.

For example, to use Internet Explorer to open each .jpg file in the same
instance, type the following DDE commands:
DDE Message:"file://%1",,-1,,,,,

Application: "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome

DDE Application Not Running: leave blank

Hi DietCoke,

I am running Windows 2000 SP3, Internet Explorer 6, and I have used KB199292 to
configure Internet Explorer to open multiple JPEGs in the same Internet Explorer
window. For the file extensions in question, did you check to make certain the Use
DDE section matches the values given in KB199292?

NOTE: Since KB199292 was written for Win9x, some steps are incorrect.

Step 1: "Folder Options on the View menu" should read:
Folder Options on the Tools menu

Step 2: "and then click Edit" should read:
click Advanced, select Open, and then click Edit
