Graphics Program Default

Whenever I click on a graphics file,(.jpg,.bmp,etc.) the computer always invokes a Dell provided Kodak graphics program to display the image. Dell can't (won't?) tell me how to change the default program to either "Paint" or some other preferred program. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Bob

    Left click on the object file to highlight it. Hold the Shift key down and right-click on it, and select "Open With." From the box that comes up, select IEXPLORE (with the blue E icon) for .jpg and .gif files. For bitmap images (.bmp), use MSPAINT. When creating these associations, put a check in the "Always use this program to open this type of file" box. From that point on, you should be all set with those types. This works with any kind of file, too.

    Well, gee...I dunno. ;-) I hope it worked for you, anyway.

    How's that Hotmail working out for you, Stanley? :-)
