When I receive a fax it is saved to my desktop. The
program it opens with is a kodak picture program instead
of the picture/fax viewer. can anyone tell me how to set
the fax viewer as the default instead of the kodak
program. thanks
 
The file association for .tif files has been set to Kodak Imaging instead of
the Picture and Fax Viewer. In most cases, the file association for .tif
files should be:

"rundll32.exe <drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1"

'Control Panel|Folder Options|File Types', locate the TIF file type, click
Edit, and change the "Open" action. It will refer to Kodak Imaging.

Hi Hal - what happens if the tif file type is no longer there? I just
installed Office 03 and uninstalled Office XP. My MS Fax Viewer will now not
work as it says there is no default viewer. Any ideas in how to re-set it?

Thanks,
Pud.
 
Outlook 2003 resets the default viewer for TIF files to MODI:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPVIEW.EXE" "%1"
 
Bingo! It's back. Many thanks!
Pud
