720647 2008-11-16 19:24:00 I have somehow changed the way email attachments are opened in MS Office Outlook. Previously they were opened with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. They are now being opened with Photoshop CS3. How can I change it back? nzguru (8828)
720648 2008-11-16 19:28:00 If youre using XP, run my computer, then go to tools / folder options / filetypes tab.

Then go to the format / pic format, click on change. Then select Windows Picture and Fax viewer.

720649 2008-11-16 19:33:00 What's happened is CS3 has changed the file association.

Easy solution - open up My Documents, click on Tools and Folder Options.

Go to the file types tab, wait for the list to load and scroll down to the .jpg entry. (or whatever type of image it is you're trying to open, jpg is normal).

Click on it, and click the change button. Select Windows Picture and Fax viewer.

You should be all good to go now.

Edit - ahh speedy got me again. :)
