98	1998-09-01 00:17:00	I play around a lot with graphics programs and have a recurring problem. When I load a new one it sometimes takes over as the default for my machine. Whereabouts do you look to replace the default graphics program? At the moment the only way I've been able to do it is to reinstall the program I want to be the default. When I uninstall the offending program it does not uninstall it as the default.	Guest (0)

This is an old thread that a previous person deliberately dragged up for who knows what reason ... Thanks for trying to help anyway, and Welcome to PressF1 :)	Jen (38)
