69603 2002-08-09 02:46:00 For somebody a bit cleverer than me, how can I get pictures sent to me on e-mail to open on software other than my photoshop. Before I installed this my computer opened jpegs on its own and quite quickly. Now I have photoshop it grabs them and laboriously opens them.
How can I direct jpegs away from photoshop.
Cheers Steve.

69604 2002-08-09 02:52:00 You need to associate the file extension .jpg with another program.

Open up Folder Options, either from the control panel or via Tools/Folder Options in any standard folder browse window. Go tot he File Types tab, and scoll till you find .jpg Then you just need to choose a new program as the default "opens with" program.

69607 2002-08-22 03:04:00 I do the same thing. I have Photoshop set yup to open them, cause if I'm opening it usually I'm editing it. But I use ACD for just viewing, which I don't do very ofetn. Biggles (121)
