Unable to open photos in email after removing Elements

Ever since I removed Photoshop Elements from my computer (I loved it, but it
froze my computer every time I went to close it) photos attached to my emails
won't open. I get the message: file does not have a program associated with
it for this action. To create an association, double click on My Computer on
your desktop. On the View menu click Options, then click file types.

When I click My Computer and open View menu, Options is not one of my
choices. What can I do to get something re-attached to my email so I can
view my photos there?

Have a look at this article:

(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
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
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...
