" I have PSP and ACDSee and neither have hijacked my file associations.
IIRC, the installation menus for these programs allow you to specify
whether or not they will be the default viewers for various file
types.

Ditto on the ACDSee; I've had it for over 5 years and never had a
problem...... didnt even have to pay for it either, its available at
www.oldversion.com
Just reinstall it every 3 months, takes less than a minute, and the .exe is
always available.
