• 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.

  Any ideas?

  OK... go to... Start / run and type... "' regedit ' without

  In the registry... Editor drill down to:

  Replace the key with the path to the program that will be

  Here's what I changed to.

  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Picture It! 7\pip.exe"'%1 '.

  Now, my images still open in the picture and Fax Viewer
  But if I left, click on the button Edit... Picture It! 7 opens.

  To replace the string...

  'Default' to select, left click.

  Reach... Edit / change...

  In the "Edit String" field...

  Copy / paste the path to your program choice:

  "C:\Program Files\? \???. "exe" '%1'

  Left click... Ok.

  Now, your images will always open in the picture and Fax
  Viewer, but if you left click on Edit button... your image
  editing program opens...

  Good luck.

• How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

  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:)
  DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

  How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

  Click Start / run and enter the following command:

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

  Press on... Come in...

  You should see a dialog box stating:
  DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

  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...
  Button start / Control Panel / folder Options.
  See tab /... to check "Show hidden files and folders"...

  Hi NewsAru,

  Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the next\previous buttons in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

• Can I download Windows Picture and Fax viewer on Windows 7? I receive 100 faxes in one electronic file per day and I don't want to open with the Windows on Windows 7 photo gallery.

  Faxes do not correctly open in Windows Photo Gallery.  XP used to open files with Windows Picture and fax viewer.  There is no one type of file in Windows Picture and Fax viewer in Windows 7.   Can I download this Windows 7 so my fax files will open correctly?   Thank you, Laurie

  Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the new Windows Photo Gallery in Windows 7.

  However if you use a newer version of Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition you are trying to install Windows Xp mode (Virtual PC that works under Xp on Windows 7).

• Windows Picture and Fax Viewer File Extensions

  A few moments ago, I finished a session of 3 hours with Techs two, MS on a problem where MSN BING replaced my Google home page and nothing less than a miracle would help.  In addition, I just started to get a Google page that asked me to prove that I was a human and a robot entering symbols into a box of CAPTCHCA.  Technicians found that my office had acquired a serious virus, unknown name, and finally a level 2 Tech was able to restore Google as my home page.  Hooray!

  There are some bonus winnings, but now I have a problem I ask your help to deal with the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

  Until the technicians tried to solve the problem of Google, I was able to put the captions of the photos that I downloaded via a memory card.  Then I got the card in the reader and before and after moving them to the folders on my dekstop I could type captions under the photos to replace what was there as IMG_0019.JPG.  After I typed everything which, in this case BOLA SETE RED VINYL, I now get a popup that says:

  [Rename

  If you change a filename extension, the filw may become unusable.  Are you sure you want to change it?  Yes No]

  Feeling cocky and sure that nothing will change in fact I clicked Yes and the photo has disappeared replaced by an icon that I describe.  A lost photo.

  After moving safely from the photos in different folders, I tried again to see if I could add a caption but I kept getting the dreaded above popup.  Then I did the photos via Picasa 3 and when I put pictures in the appropriate folders, I found that I could, and safely, add a caption.

  Can someone help me with this situation?  I want my old Picture and Fax Viewer because I don't always treat my photos with Picasa and I want to place them in appropriate folders, with good captions under the photos.  Can I pick up my old Picture and Fax Viewer or I'm screwed?

  Looks like you need to change the following setting.

  Open any folder and go... Tools / Folder Options / View tab on...
  Clear (clear) the box "Hide extensions of known file types" / apply / OK.

  Now... When you rename a photo... be absolutely sure that you do not delete the file
  extension... JPG for example.

  For photos that seem to corrupt now... If you rename them again and Add .jpg
  extension, they should return to normal.
