It depends what sort of pics they are.
What file extensions are you having the problem with? If you do not have a graphics viewer to use for the particular type of pictures you have, then try IrfanView - Freeware Graphic Viewer: http://www.irfanview.com/ ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.new-user, "ozzie" wrote: I've just started putting pics in the 'My Pictures' folder.

I've put in JPEG's, GIF's & BMP's When I try to open any
of them in 'My Pictures' a box appears with a list of programs asking me which program do I want to use to open my picture. I would just like to know which one I should be using. -----Original Message----- It depends what sort of pics they are. What file extensions are you having the problem with?

As WinMe only has Paint installed as it's 'default' viewer (which only opens
basic formats e.g. .BMP's, in its standard-installed state) this would not *normally* let you view .jpg's etc. However, you *may* have other viewer utilities installed (possibly associated with Office) which allow you to view (and associate) different graphics files, so the choice is yours. Like most things "Windows" - there are many ways of doing the same thing and you - the user - have the freedom to choose whatever suits you best. ... I would just like to know which one I should be using. No definitive answer, but once you decide then you should/could 'associate' each individual type of graphic file to always open with that viewer. HTH Mart "ozzie" wrote in message ...

By default Win Me uses "Image Preview" to view files with a BMP, JPG and
GIF extension amongst others. You can restore this association using Control Panel | Folder Options | File Types and for each of these file types, highlight the file type extension in the list of registered file types and then click Change and then select Image Preview from the list of applications presented in the "Open With" window. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP ozzie wrote: I've put in JPEG's, GIF's & BMP's When I try to open any of them in 'My Pictures' a box appears with a list of programs asking me which program do I want to use to open my picture.

Addendum :-
"Image Preview" - as discussed by Mike M in his post *may* also be installed by default - It's an 'option' in Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs | Accessories etc., It seems that it may depend on the OEM as to whether or not it is installed 'by default' Good luck.
