When in windows explorer and I double click a picture to view, instead of my pictures opening in photoimpact I would like to change the default to open the pictures with windows picture and fax viewer.

To change the file association from PhotoImpact to Windows Picture & Fax Viewer, do the following:
1. Browse for the file using Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the file you wish to open with your preffered application.
3. Choose "Open With --> Choose Program..."
4. Choose your preffered application from the list of programs
*Windows Picture & Fax Viewer
4. Check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
5. Click Ok then your done. :wink:

how do you get the right mouse click to read "Open with",
good suggestion, but I had that problem before too, but my
right mouse click only has open, any other suggestions?
Thanks
