How to re - assign default windows fax and picture viewer?

I chose the HP Photosmart first as my default for the photos - I want to go back to windows fax and picture display. Can someone help me?

Never mind... I figured it out... whoohoooo!

    I used to always use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer with no such problems. I have not the slightest idea what happened... even though I was messing around with 1) Component Services > Security Com > permissions & launch Activate and Run permissions) 2 > Regedit > Edit > "Permissions" last week and changed "Registered Owner" in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE and some other stuff like that. Could permissions and changing names have caused this unexpected problem in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? If so, the changes I made will not be changed back, then how can I fix a broken Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?  And if these changes, last week, have nothing to do with this "opening images in the image Windows and Fax Viewer problem,' so what?

    I did your suggestion before posting here. I saw the same solution as your addition, the interpreter, but it does not solve the problem because I already had the shimgvw.dll etc. in their proper place and my photos/images were not always open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer the way I wanted them to open.

    Since I got my photos all open as I wanted (as before) this way to use Windows Picture and Fax viewer:

    Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types: I changed then each file/folder associated with 'images' to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I determined this by reading the details for each extension / the item highlighted. If the referenced details 'images', I then clicked on change and choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open the extension.

    I went through everything everyone who was not obvious that they are. I made a change: BMP, GIF, EMF, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, etc... I changed at least 12 (more than I thought it was).

    Immediately after changing all of these types of files, I rebooted and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was still working the way I wanted to (as before).

  • How to MOVE the default location of Windows Fax and Scan?

    We have recently added a second server (Windows Server 2008) to a domain AD., because the new server has more resources, we moved all the DOCUMENTS folder to users from the server (Server 2003) network share to address liked to a share on the new Server 2008 machine. After the move, all Windows 7 machines runs the utility of fax and scan can not find MANY DOCUMENTS folder as the utility constantly points to the old server (which took the OLD action of document already deleted).

    I changed the location of DOCUMENTS in Windows 7 for Server 2008 sharing, but Fax and Scan keeps searching for the old stock 2003 server and I cannot find where to redirect them. Can I turn off Windows fax and analysis services to the title of printing and scanning and then restore? That will allow me to redirect to the correct folder? I have tried even to search the registry for references to the old stock but still can't seem to locate the old server to the MANY DOCUMENTS reference.

    Can anyone help?

    I solved this problem with a synlink

    First to find the actual location of Library/Documents/scanned documents, make this scanned Documents to right click and click 'open file location '.

    In my case he opened it (that I copied from the address bar):

    Documents C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned

    What should I do now is to save the files in this folder, and then delete the "Documents" folder completely

    Then click the windows key and type in run or search (or click the Windows key + R) and type 'cmd' and press enter

    A black console should appear

    In it, you must enter this command, I wanted that my scans to record in X:\Scans

    MKLINK /j "C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned Documents" X:\Scans

    then press enter

    This creates a folder (symlink, not a shortcut), who acts as a normal file, but is actually located in a different place, so when the scan software saves files in its default location will be actually stored in X:\Scans

  • "How to remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools' - >"Scan Routing? '"

    My question is very simple: I believe!  How can I remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools'-> 'Scan routing?  This really should not be so dang hard when I do an install, and regedit, I looked at most of the places are to get rid of any residue.  However, when I get back in Windows FAX and Scan, inevitiably I see printers / scanners way back when I bought this laptop.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system.

    I think I'll try the following:

    Uninstall Norton & reboot

    Reinstall your HP printer using the latest version of the full software features on HP site, preferably in the usb connection.

    Test the printer or use HP diagnostics to test its operation, then uninstall HP printing via programs & features software.

    Then use the HP utility to completely re - move

    I am able to use my printer on the other program, but when I tried to use it as a scanner in windows fax and scan. He is not able to detect my printer.  IM using windows 8 right now. Does anyone know how can I install it?

    Thank you

    Don't forget that the scanner cannot be shared as a printer. It must be directly connected by cable to the computer that you use to analyze - not connected to another computer on the network. The exception is a scanner printer wireless connected to a wireless router.
