How do you return to using the slide show viewer in Windoze?

Somebody I know, not me, tried Ifran yesterday after lurking "over
there" and didn't like it - uninstalled it and now when clicking on an
image, the jpgs are associated with her editor program which is Adobe
Photoshop. She's a little embarrased about it.

She is using XP. The Windoze help is useless.

I have no clue how to return the system back to the Windoze slide
viewer.

Anybody?

Yeah.

It's easier to do this on the phone but I'll try.

Open up Windows Explorer.

On the top line, under Tools...

Click on Folder Options...

Click on File Types...

Once that fills in, scroll on down the list to the kind of files you want
to open with the program you want to use. The suffix is the key here...
*.jpg" for example.

When you click on that extension, you'll see a little dialogue telling you
what program opens those kinds of files. There will be a box there
that lets you Change that program. So in that box, you change it back to
what you like.

That should do it. The "Restore" button in that box might do it for you.
Maybe.

If this doesn't work, let me know and we can talk on the phone.




It's a lot easier to simply open "My Documents", then "My Pictures"
(assuming she stores .jpg files there),
right click on any .jpg, select "open with" , chose the viewer or program
you want .jpg files to default to, then click on the "Use Always" or
whatever it says.

Until you change it again, .jpgs will always open with the chosen viewer or
program.

There's usually a bunch of suffixes I tend to change at once with a new
program. Also, I open some types of photos with one view and others with
another. And I don't always open *.jpgs" with ACDsee, for example.
Sometimes I use Photoshop.

Life ain't simple.



*His* question was, "How do you return to using the slide show viewer in
Windoze"?

Simple.

RCE,

Yes his question was "How do you return to using the slide show viewer in
Windoze?" But in his subject line he was asking GEEKS how to do it. Your
answer was clearly not geekie enough.

Sincerely,

Injam

1. Open up "My Computer".
2. Click "Tools" on the tool bar.
3. Click "Folder Options".
4. Click the tab "File Types".
5. Choose the picture format you want to change/modify.
6. At the bottom of the dialog window, click on "Change".
7. Pick the program "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".

You may now open that file type, and the program will only "slide
show" the pic files inn that specific directory.

There is an icon at the bottom to start the slide show, or you can
hit F11.

Good luck.
