Quicktime Vs Windows Microsoft Viewer
I scan many documents each month. When I would view then the computer
default would be the Windows picture and Fax Viewer. Recently this has changed to the QuickTime Viewer. How do I change the Default back to the Windows Viewer. I have no idea as to what I did to create this change in the first place. It may have happened after an update of the QuickTime software... Thanks in advance for your help and comments. Mike |

Quicktime Vs Windows Microsoft Viewer
That you mention "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" makes me think that you
are more likely running XP than Win Me but what follows applies regardless of the operating system you are using - you just need to replace "Image Preview" by "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". Re-associate the file type(s) that has been hijacked by QuickTime it is important to first unassociate QuickTime otherwise when QuickTime is next run it will grab back the associations. The QuickTime associations are set via QuickTime's Edit | Preferences | QuickTime Preferences, open the File Types tab and start unchecking, for example click the + alongside Images - Still image files and uncheck away - in my case I only have MacPaint, PICT and QuickTime image checked To re-associate your scanned files, Control Panel | Folder Options | File Types, browse to the file types involved. Taking type JPG as an example. If this was/is opening in QuickTIme, scroll down to and highlight Extension JPG and either click the Restore button if present or if not Change and select "Image Preview" from the applications offered. Alternatively right click on a file for whose extension you want to alter the default application and then select Open With and select File Preview for the options offered and check the box "Always use this program to open these files". -- Mike Maltby Michael Kicak wrote: I scan many documents each month.
