Change the Default Photo Viewing App in Windows XP.

[luciusad2004]

Hey guys, My girlfriend recently installed a Paint Shop Pro trial and it has taken over as the default image program.(A really annoying thing for developers to do by the way.) Does anyone know how to change the default photo application in windows XP? I would prefer to just use the regular photo viewer built in to windows XP. It's REALLY annoying when I'm not thinking and i just double click to open a photo and have to wait for PSP to open.

Thanks for the help guys.

It's not too hard to change back..

Open any folder, and go to "Tools" -> "Folder Options". Then, click on "File Types" tab at the top.

Find the extension you want (ie: .jpg) and click it, then click "Change".

On the new screen, find the program (ie: Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) you want to have open it, and you are done.
