328487 2005-02-27 00:26:00 MS office picture manager is in control of all my picture files. How do I stop this? I prefer to use XP's built-in picture viewer to view all my picture files.

OS: XP Pro

328488 2005-02-27 00:36:00 You just need to change the file associations for the image files you wish to change. If you right click on one of the image files, and select "Open With" and then choose the application you wish to use instead. Make sure you put a tick in the box "always use this application". You will need to do this will all your different image types eg, bmp, jpg, jpeg, tif etc.

There is also a FAQ on this process: FAQ #50 - Changing file associations (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz )

Go down to JPE / JPEG / JPG. Click on change. Select Windows Picture and Fax viewer for all 3.
