-=PCTechTalk=- sharing info on default viewer settings

First I had taken the great suggestion to set everything to infranview. 
Then I decided ACDSee had to go so removed it, thought that as long as I was 
reading in the folder options that all my .ext were set for Microsoft 
Picture and Fax Viewer which I had become used to before the changes I'd be 
fine.  Well it may have said it was set for that but EVERYTHING opened in 
paintshop now.  I thought maybe if I set each .ext to paint shop and then 
back to MPFV that would work (trick it I was thinking).  Nope!  So good old 
google to the rescue.  The first site had me change the string in the file 
type application string - didn't work. So did another google search and 
found where I could type in the Start, Run, textbox

"regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" - without the quotes and voila problem solved!

Without google I'd be lost so many times as no matter how much I think I've 
learned to fix quirks, a new one pops up.  Anyhow thought I'd share it in 
case anyone else didn't know about it.  Dolores
