Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
All of a sudden when I click on a .jpg file in Windows Explorer I get
the error message, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and the clicking Folder Options." I don't know what to do next! I do know that Microsoft Photo Editor is installed because I can bring it up by clicking on irs icon and then using fileopen to open a .jpg file Help would be appreciated. |

Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
Go to www.irfanview.com and download the image viewer.
When you install it you will get an option to associate your JPG files (and others, if you want) with the viewer. You can still open Microsoft Photo Editor and access your JPG files from the menu option (File / Open) or by dragging and dropping, but if you are mostly interested in just viewing your images Irfanview is a much better viewer and a much more suitable default association. -----Original Message----- All of a sudden when I click on a .jpg file in Windows Explorer I get the error message, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
Thanks a lot. I downloaded and installed infanview and I love it.
You are right. It is much better than Microsoft Photo Editor. On Thu, 5 Aug 2004 19:27:07 -0700, wrote: Go to www.irfanview.com and download the image viewer.

Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
In addition, IrfanView can open many JPG images that Microsoft Photo Editor
cannot open! I've made IrfanView my default viewer for JPG files, but I still employ Microsoft Photo Editor for BMP images. If I were you, I would add both IrfanView and Microsoft Photo Editor to my SendTo folder "C:\Windows\SendTo". (Simply drag and drop a shortcut to each program into the 'SendTo' folder). Now you can right-click on any image file and send it to the program you wish to use, regardless of which program is the designated default program for that particular file type. Johnny B.

Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
Hello,
I love Irfanview and have been using it for yrs. I don't ever install MPE. The default for W98se is to open .jpg's or gif's w/IE and bmp's w/Paint etc... I would *never associate* these files to Irfanview and I *keep the default to open w/IE*. You can loose your ability to view thumbnails in your folders if you change these defaults. Further, when installing any Microsoft Office version... this will happen, (my experience). If you check to install MPE, MPE will change the defaults and .jpg's now will open w/Photo Editor and not IE. *But worse*... you now no longer have thumbnail view in folders, (also my experience). Therefore, I associate little to Irfanview, .png and .wmf only, and right now .psd, because I have a new install of Windows and I haven't installed Photoshop yet. I work heavily w/graphics and I don't install the CAG, (Clipart Gallery for MS Office). I use *Irfanview instead*. All my picture media is organized into what I call a media catalog folder, I choose insert picture, background, etc. from inside the program I'm using; OE, Ppt, Word, etc... and I start the browse. When I open a folder, I right click on the first file and use the *send to Irfanview option*. Now I just start playing the files in the folder... either manually or automatically until I find the file I need. The above references only my experience and I hope it's helpful. I suggest caution always in changing file association, especially default settings. Star "Johnny_B" wrote in message news:JbPQc.3231$yh.1760@fed1read05...

Problem With Microsoft Photo Editor
Yep, repairable. I have the fix saved, just in case. MPE is an "editor",
and I don't think a good one. Irfanview is primarily a viewer, but so much more. I love the resize/resample feature too, etc... You can view thumbnails too. Great little program, wouldn't be without it!! Incidently, the creator of this program will personally respond, if you email any support issue/problem. "AlmostBob" wrote in message ...
