How to associate the photo files to the Windows or Windows Live Photo Gallery Photo Viewer viewer?

I want to be able to associate the photo files to the Windows and Windows Live Photo Gallery Photo Viewer viewer.  In both cases, I can't find the executable files.  I would like to know the file name and location.

Hey healee.

There is no executable file to the Windows Photo Viewer. It is not a stand-alone application. So you can't run it as an application rather it runs with dllhost.exe.

Same information applies to Windows Live Photo Gallery.

The dll for the photo viewer file is located here:C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll

 

Coming to your point about the picture of opening attached files in Mozilla, you should be able to open the file with using Windows Photo Viewer open with which gives the possibility to choose the helper application.

Kind regards

  • How to import a dbx file unique to Windows Live Mail?

    I imported my files of dbx to Outlook Express 6 for WLM (Windows 7) last month, but a valuable record has been lost due to corruption. Now, I discovered a forgotten dbx backup that I'm desperate to add to WLM7, but it does not recognize the dbx file. All the advice I have read, says that you can import all OE6 files and folders at once, and that it does not recognize simple records. There is no work around for this? I'm desperate to import this file, but do not want to lose all my other imported files making.

    Help, please!

    The reason why you can not get imported WLMail dbx files is because Folders.dbx must be included in the backup. Manually recover dbx files in OE, you can export them.

    1: How to restore individual dbx files
    http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

    2: transfer of data from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail

    For Messages:

    In Outlook Express, compact you files first.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Compress your OE folders:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx should be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    V-2009: open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    V-2011/2012: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP the OE User (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    Note: If any DBX file is over 300 MB, return to OE and move some messages from the folder related to a new user created folder and compact down the size of the file.

  • How to purge the windows live photo gallery database of missing files

    I recently moved most of my photos on a removable drive from SD. Of course, photo gallery can not find them and I can't point the Pb on a removable drive. Please tell us how do I purge the database of photo gallery of found files.

    Might be interesting to try to rename the Photo Live

    inches and metadata and is located at the following
    location.

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4, .pd5.
    or .pd6

    The file ends with a advanced

    Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

    Rename the .pd5 .pd4 or pd6 file should

    Photo Gallery will return to what it was the first
    time that you opened it. The gallery will have to re-
    complete and you may lose some tags.

    "print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it.  How I choose it?

    Resize your window by clicking Restore button (or the - and the X in the upper right corner of the window) and drag the window to the where you can see the "print" key.  You can also minimize the window and drag it around.

    Another thing you can do is to hold the CTRL key and press the letter P.  It still works.

    The customer has a PC under Windows 8, and he wondered how to remove the Windows.edb file. He recorded 60 GB of information. Is it possible to have the option of Windows search and have this file shrunk down to the size? Is it possible to empty this folder? Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this problem?

    Please respond with more information.

    Thank you very much for the help!

    I just had this problem myself, with a clue consuming 107/278 GiB!

    Here's the trick:
    (1) search for "Indexing Options" (under "settings"). Open it.
    (2) search for 'services' (or run "services.msc") and find "Windows Search". Stop the service.
    (3) remove the Windows.edb file
    4) click on "Change" in the Panel "Indexing Options" already open, then click on "Erase and rebuild" for the index. You can also specify another drive to store the index on.

  • Question: How to avoid the pop-up "Welcome to the Windows Live (tm) Device Manager download"?

    I also use many Office Communicator 2007 and Live Messenger and Live Photo Gallery. My PC (Win XP SP2) office also has a LX-3000 headset and a webcam VX-6000, both are for use with Office Communicator.
    Since a recent update, whenever I connect a device, a "Welcome to the Windows Live (tm) Device Manager download" window asking me to download Windows Live Device Manager.
    However, on this desktop PC, I don't want that to be installed. Also, since the shape a previous download, I learned that this device manager does not recognize Office Communicator; It assumes that Live Messenger.
    How can I stop this pop up on my desktop PC?

    Hello Wytze_,

    Thank you for your message.  Let's try turning off the pop-up.
    If you have Windows Live Messenger 2009:
    1. click on tools, select Options
    2. click on the connection tab
    3. uncheck the show Windows Live today after I connect to mailbox
    For older versions:
    1. click on tools, select Options
    2. click on the general tab
    3. uncheck the show Windows Live today after I connect to mailbox
    There were a few discussions where people indicated that they downloaded Device Manager but then turned off to avoid the messages.  As seen HERE.
    If none of these suggestions help to solve the problem, you can visit the Windows Live related forum HERE.

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    It is present in previous versions of DW as well & only happens for PHP files. Nevertheless, I logged a bug for this.

    As a solution for the moment, you can simply activate and deactivate the option of film word in horizontal mode Code to get rid of the scroll bar.
