165167 2003-08-04 05:12:00 I'm running window xp home, with ms office xp 2002 installed. whenever I double click a jpeg it is opened with MS office clip organizer, even though I chose not to install that feature of ms office.
How can I make JPEG open into "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" whenever I double click?


Thanks for any help you could provide.

Select JPG and select "Change"

Select Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Make sure the box is ticked for "Always use the selected program...."

Sounds like you need to change the file association for JPEG so it opens with a different program. See FAQ 13 (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) which describes how you change file associations.

Post again if you have problems.
