[pchelpers] Re: can't open pictures now

Hello Re-Na...

Very simple solution... hold the shift key down, and right-click one the image
(in this case, the .jpg) and select "Open With..." from here, click "Other
Program", and a dialog box will pop up with a list of all your applications
installed on your system.

From here, select the App you'd like to use for viewing, and if you want this to
be the default app, be sure to place a mark in the checkbox that says "Always
open with this program".

You may need to reboot your system for this change to take effect.

Hth!

Sincerely,

| Hi Re-Na,
|
| First of all, they "take over" the image files like that because they assume
| that you are going to use their program to view the images.  I've found that
| even when you "properly" uninstall an app (via Control Panel - Add/Remove
| Programs), they don't always release their file associations.
|
| One thing you could do is install another file viewer (such as Irfanview,
| which is absolutely free) and that should then take over the image file
| associations.
|
| Regards,
|
| Bevan
