161036 2003-07-19 06:08:00 I've since then been told of a better way to ensure that your preferred program opens particular file types .

Go to My Computer, and Tools > Folder Options . Click on the 'File Type' tab, where a window will pop up .

for whichever file type, you can select the program to open it .

eg, with jpeg, you can set Windows Photo/Fax Viewer (under 'Opens with' > 'change' button), and with PSP/PSF file types you can set Adobe Photoshop to open them (which makes sense since those are Photoshop files .

cheers,
