File Types , EDIT

first question

explorer is the standard without the microsoft office' photoeditor

with the office that will be the Microsoft photo editor,

acdsee is the best image browser costs less space, offers thumbnails and other features, jsut an opinion though.

second question

u can see those standard file types in you control panel menu, then folder options, and click on the tab file types.

(just not sure if this is the exact anwser u are looking for)

third editing of file types may prevent the file from executing.

for the last one, just right click on the jpeg file, click on open with, look for the standard jpeg viewer u want, that will be the Microsoft Photo Editor or the explorer, and check the "always use this program to open this file".

thats all.

yer right den that is iexplore.exe

Thanks for your reply but I have selected  C:\WINDOWS.000\Explorer.exe   to open "JPEG" images  but every time I try to open a Image by double clicking on it displays the following message:

Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below
looks suspicous, or you do not fully trust the source, do not open or
save this file.
If I click on open the same dialogue box appears again.

I am therefore unable to open a picture file by double click   and also if the picture is "NOT" in a folder I  am unable to use  ACD See to view the picture?

Quick View works okay  to view my images.

I am able to browse my folders with "ACD See" for picture files okay

I am also unable to locate the original  standard icon image for "JPEG" images

I have made the change  

Editing action for type: JPG

Action

OPEN

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe"   

When I click on a image  i.e a  .JPG file  it still "Will not" open the image: but I can still use  "Quick View"  and browse images if they are in a FOLDER with ACD See ??

If you need any furthur help in re-setting your file associations to W/98 defaults, download and follow the instructions to execute, "FixPix.inf" from here:

http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/fixpix.htm

Doing so will remove the registry associations for .jpg, .gif and .bmp file types (including any corrupted keys) and rewrite them to W/98 defaults...that is, for IE to open .jpg and .gif files and MS Paint to open .bmp images.

Thankyou Dan,

                        This program has  fixed the Program without a doubt   "FixPix.inf"   which I downloaded from http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/fixpix.htm   .

I think the reason I might have had problems is that  " ACD See  program" has so many features that I could have transformed  the JPEG files  in Windows 98  which allowed the ACD See program to be in control...

I suppose now if I could if I wished associate  ACD See with JPEG files also if I was to Edit File Types again

I am able to browse folders with ACD See okay  but a single image  I can see now that I need  to go back to Folder options and "Associate  JPEG  with JPEG.

What  I am still very keen to know is where the folder is that stores all the different types of ICONs available for one to use .  As there are no ICON images in in the Folder called ICONS  I look in Windows . I know how to select a different icon when useing folder options  for a file type but where is that FOLDER ???

Many Thanks to all        George  http://mysite.freeserve.com/77
