| 1434490 | 2017-04-23 21:56:00 | Hi All Some time ago All py photos/pictures were stored in My pictures/Pictures. Along came another piece of software called Photos. In Prroperties it says MS Windows photos.Ink I cannot use this program as I used "Pictures". How can I get rid of Photos without losing all my Pics. Thanks. PJ |

| 1434493 | 2017-04-26 04:35:00 | I am still struggling with this problem I have tried the link above & have googled the problem as well It seems as if a foray into the registry is reqd. Given my propensity to make good into bad I would rather not try The data from google suggests that there are files missing from Photoos, Editing for instance. Should I download another Viewer & editor etc & try to move all phos across. If Photos will allow me? PJ |

| 1434494 | 2017-04-26 04:54:00 | I thought about Picasa but see that it is now defunct. It is now Google Pictures. Any pros & cons about Google Pics? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

As per the site above linked, download the zipped file Direct Download HERE (www.howtogeek.com), save it, right click and extract. You'll then have two reg files, simply double click the Activate Windows Photo Viewer - then click YES twice, and OK- That's it - DONE. Now as per the article, right click a picture - open with ---follow the instruction on the linked site. Now all your pictures will open in the old Windows Photo Viewer. :) |

The Step 2 part confuses me. I am not the PJ that I was 10 years ago. Please bear with me. Thanks. PJ |

Now all your pictures will open in the old Windows Photo Viewer. ------------------------------------------- When you right click - you get a choice. Select OPEN WITH. Then it brings up a screen with choices of programs available on your PC. The idea is to locate and choose Photo Viewer (or whatever program you want it to default to) you see. You select that, tick ALWAYS USE THIS so it then makes it the default program. |

I have to open a picture fullscreen to get the dropdown you are referring to. When I do I get 2 choice in open with....Movie maker or Paint. Does this sound right? So can I put "My Pictures" on there as a third alternative? PJ |
