My usual method of changing the association of a file type is to browse to one (in your case a photo) in Windows Explorer; right-click on it, then from the menu select "Open With...". If it's listed, don't select the app. you want to open the files from the menu here. if you do the system won't remember your choice but will revert to the previous program next time. Instead hit the 'Choose Program' button and select the application you want to open the file here. Should the program not be in the list, you'll have to browse for the executable. Finally, ensure the 'Always use the selected program to open this type of file' tick box is selected before OK'ing.

It's also different because trying to reply via Thunderbird fails, with an error message saying it can't access my ISP's server. I'm having to reply via Webmail, on the same MCB.net server. That works. All suggestions welcomed. Also for my next problem. Having loaded Photoshop Elements onto this machine, it insists in opening all photos etc, instead of the Windows prog. I fixed it on my IOM machine but can't remember how.
