You are amazing! I have tried every trick while waiting for a response and
in the process I discovered that ACDSee was the culprit but even tho I said
do NOT put the Adobe plug in, everything kept opening in it. I removed and
added it twice and tried a bunch of other things that did open png and gif
in paint but that wasn't any better. I have infraview and use it a lot, so
went in and checked all the extensions I wanted and voila I outsmarted
ACDSee finally! Thank you so very much - Dolores
