Question Picture settings in XP home, how to change?

This morning I downloaded a windows update and since that when I'm in my pictures and click on a photo to view it it opens in Corel Photopaint not window's picture and fax viewer like it used to, how do I change this back to how it was before the update? I can manually change it each time using the 'open with' function but I want to return it the viewer as default.

Cheers

Sal

Sounds more like Corel has screwed it rather than the update. If you open Windows Explorer and goto Tools -> Options -> File Types.

You need to associate the extension with the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" app.

You should see .JPEG, .JPG, etc.. for whatever has been changed.

If you use the open with then other....


then select windows previewer - then put an X in the box at the bottom of the windows which says - always use this program to open files of this type.
