I go to Picture tasks, then to get pictures from camera or scanner, and then when I do, and save them as .JPG it puts it in paint, is there a way to make it different, I don't want to view in paint.

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 Windows XP 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...
Continue...if you are trying to change the default
image editor...
How to open your choice of image editors when
clicking the Edit button on the Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer screen.

===========================================
OK...go to...Start / Run and type in..."regedit" without
the quotes. Then click...OK...or press...Enter.
In the Registry Editor...drill down to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command
In the Data column you should see:
"%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1"
(where you see *mspaint* in the example....you will
see your current default)
Replace the key with the path to the program that will
be your default image editor. I wanted Picture It! 7 so
the following is what I changed to.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Picture It! 7\pip.exe" "%1"
Now, my images still open in the Picture and Fax viewer
but if I left click the Edit button...Picture It! 7 opens.
To replace the string...
Left click "default" to select it.
Go to...Edit / Modify...
In the "Edit String" field...
Copy/Paste the path to your program choice:
"C:\Program Files\??????????\???.exe" "%1"
Left click...OK.
Now, your images still open in the Picture and Fax
Viewer but if you left click the Edit button...your image
editing program opens..
Good luck.
