Default Too Many .jpg File Types???

Hello.

When I am in Windows Explorer, and do View-Folder Optiond-File Types, it
seems like there are too many File Types for .jpg files. There are 4
and I have Attached the dialog box. It seems like to me there should be
one.

Can you explain this to me.

Thanks.

Look at all of the four, see if they cover the same extensions?
You can then edit the file type, and edit the program used for the =
"open" action. Internet Explorer will work for .jpg files (although =
under "JPEG file" there could be some more extensions, not all of which =
IE might be able to handle). You can specify whichever program you would =
like.
Also, perhaps you have not properly uninstalled the program =
"pictureviewer.exe"?

file name descriptions are added by software as it creates links, the actual
extensions need not be jpg they could be jpeg jpg jng. If the graphic program
you have installed is not well constructed they could even be called 'jpeg
files' but be .bmp .gif .jpg ANYthing.
when installing Irfanview all the supported image types are changed to
"Irfanview ??? file" where ??? is the actual extension, a much easier thing to
follow, suggest You try it

Ivan,

Do you know how I can get the program PictureViewer.exe?

It is really weird, they do not have the same extensions. The extensions
are jpeg jpg jpe and jfif ??

I looked on Microsoft Downloads, and could not see it?

Thanks.

Jeff Turner
