232683 2004-04-28 06:47:00 Hi, I use the fax and pic viewer to open images in Explorer. I use the arrow keys up or down to go to the next pic. I used to be able to click the editor button and Windows Photo Edit came up and basic editing was a breeze. All that happens now is the viewer shuts down and I go back to Explorer. In PC World Feb 2004 pressf1 there was instructions how to change the registry but there is nothing to copy from the target field when I select properties as suggested. Any help gratefully appreciated thanks. Dave deejayz (5584)

232685 2004-04-29 11:09:00 Thanks Jester, I tried editing the registry as suggested but it still doesn't work. This is what i put in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\Photoed.exe" "%1"
It seems to point to the right folder and file but still no joy. When I reopen regedit, it opens where I editied not at the top like it should?

232686 2004-04-29 11:15:00 Regedit does open again where you left off, yep. You may have to wait for someone with more registry experience to help on this one, sorry :( Jester (13)
232687 2004-04-29 11:26:00 Thanks again and it's not life or death so I'll wait. C ya :D deejayz (5584)
232688 2004-04-29 12:58:00 Unless you really must have picture viewer a better option would be Irfanview which does everything thatt xp's picture viewer does but is far better with more editing options.

232689 2004-05-02 02:19:00 Thanks for that, I will take a look at it but I like the picture viewer in XP due to its ease of viewing all the pics in the folder by clicking the up or down arrows. If i could make the button in the viewer open another picture editor then that would be OK, it's just that Photoedit is real easy to use. How would i make the button open a different editor then? deejayz (5584)
