How to configure Photo Viewer Windows as a program by default when viewing photos

Using the default windows photo viewer

My pictures are being opened in internet explore. I want to open with the windows photo viewer. I tried "open with...". "and select Photo Viewer. However it is not. I however it manifests when I right click and select Preview. I don't want to do this every time see a picture well.

So, what can I do?

Hi PFollansbee,

It seems that the file association to open the images has been changed on your computer. I suggest you to set as default Photo Viewer to access photos on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

Try the steps below; It could help us solve the problem.

1. open default programs by clicking the Start button.

2. click on Control Panel, and then click default programs.

3. set your default programs. This option allows to choose the programs that Windows uses by default.

4. Select Windows Photo Viewer in the list and click Set this program as default.

5. try to access photo and check if it opens with the Windows Photo Viewer.

Also access the link below to find out how to define and modify your default programs.

    Otherwise, for example, another program to run once established a dial-up connection would be OK, thanks

    Hello

    Scheduler of tasks is time driven.

    For order-driven event, you need a script.

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • How to stop the computer to ask what program to use when you try to run a file ".exe"?

All this began after I got rid of a bunch of malicious programs.

  • How to make windows Picture Manager program by default to open jpeg files and how do I email photos smaller, so they don't take so much space?

    When I try to open a jpeg file, I get an error message... Acrobat Reader cannot open file... so I have to right click on each photo and open with Windows Picture Manager.  I want to be able to open a JPEG with a single click.  Also, I want to be able to send smaller photos so that they are sent faster and do not require a lot of time the receiving computer to get...

    The following free PowerToy for Windows XP
    can resize batches of photos very quickly:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download and install: ImageResizer.exe
    (Filename: ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe)
    (does not work on Vista)

    Then, you can open any folder containing
    images and you will have an option to resize.
    Just right click the selected image files and
    Choose resize images in the menu. You
    can select a picture or an entire group.

    The program will place the resized in copies
    the folder with your originals.
    (Tip: * never * overwrite your originals)

    To ensure that images in both portrait and
    landscape orientation are resized to the
    same dimensions... go to... Advanced...
    and enter the largest number in these two areas.
    IOW... for 600 x 800... Enter 800 in these two areas.

  • How to configure groups of Windows 8 email contacts?

    I tried to set up a group of Contacts from Windows 8 tiles. It is impossible.  I can only add new contacts. Management does not exist. The only way is going to Outlook.com and do this, but then the group do not synchronize with the email client and so I am unable to send emails with it. I can only use groups through Outlook.com! Not impressed. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    The Mail in Windows 8 app uses the people for the contacts app. the people app does not support groups at this time.

    However, you are not restricted to use: you can always download and install one of the free e-mail clients that work fine in Windows 8.

  • How to set Windows Live Hotmail as my e-mail program by default on Windows 7?

    I had Windows Live Hotmail as my email program by default when I had XP but now with 7, I can't for some reason any. I don't want to use Windows Live Mail. I want just to link to Hotmail.

    I know what you're saying and I thought for a while also, but one day when I had XP, I went to set a new default and in the drop-down list e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8, it says Windows Live Hotmail. I have no idea how it got because that prior to that time I had never seen Hotmail it. Well, I thought that the situation would be similar to Windows 7 but IE 8 does not provide a drop-down menu here to set default programs, it just sends you to the control panel to actually choose a program. I want that Windows Live Hotmail has a plug-in or whatever you call, like Yahoo, so you can set it as your default email.
