Picture opening prioritys

[Robert Howell]

I cant open my pics by just double clicking on them.
the first time i did it it asked me to choose a program to
open it with and i chose the wrong one. Now i need to go
into paint or wateva and select open file which is a big
pain.
how do i change it so it will automaticly open my gif/jpeg
files just by dbl clicking on it??

Hi Robert,

It sounds like you are in need of imaging software.
Download and install IrfanView. Select the image
types you would like to view with InfanView. Or after
installed, go to Options - Properties - Extensions tab
and select the image types there. It's a great little image
viewer and much more. And the best part, it's FREE.
