Associate Windows Picture viewer w / my gmail acct

I recently downloaded pictures through the Windows Photo Viewer and when I click on the e-mail tab, I get the message that I need to go to the control panel to associate an e-mail account with this program.  I already use gmail for all my email.  When I did a search in the "Control Panel; default settings; associate a program', that I can't find Gmail in option.  How can I do this?

THX!

The message you get allows you to set a default email client, and Gmail is a simple program, not a customer. This work around should do what you want to.

  • How can I get Thunderbird opening .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer?

    When I use Windows Live Mail and click on a jpg attachment to an e-mail, it is opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird, nothing happens. The Tools-Options-spare part in Thunderbird tab shows nothing by entering 'content type' or 'action '. How can I set Windows default viewer for that?

  • Windows Photo Viewer icon is not displayed

    I use Windows XP.

    I installed Picasa Photo Viewer and photo file icons in 'Windows Explorer' under Windows Picture Viewer in Picasa.

    After UN-installing Picasa and the restart, photos open with Windows Picture Viewer again (which is what I want), but Picasa is always displayed next to the name of photo file in Windows Explorer. Once the photo file has been opened, however, the Windows Picture Viewer icon is displayed in the upper left corner.

    Newly saved photo files are also open with Windows Picture Viewer, but are showing the Picasa icon beside the name of photo file in Windows Explorer.

  • How can Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - I specify the editing program?

    I set things up so that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default program when I opened a variety of types of image files, which allowed me to get a quick overview without waiting for a program to load full image editing. What I need to be able to do is to specify which program is then launched by WP & FV when I click on the bottom right of the screen edit button - one with text that says "closes this program and opens the image in edit (Ctrl + E).

    If I click with the right mouse button and select 'Open with' and then I can select in the usual list of possible programs, but what I want is to set a default value for each file type so that a left click of the button automatically opens the appropriate program. I tried the "program to choose...". "and"Always use the selected program to open this type of file"route after a right-click on the button, but what is happening is that the selected program then becomes the global default and circumvents WP & FV altogether.

    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)

    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

    If you can't find the path, you must go to...
