Pictures opening in Netscape, not the normal windows program

Post by annersch » 2004-02-13 12:05

After I installed Netscape, i've got a problem showing pics from DC++. When i try to open .jpg files from the downloaded files in DC++, they open in Netscape. If I open them from My Computer, they open in the normal windows picture program. Anybody know how to reset it to open in the normal windows program?

Please help me.. i cant uninstall Netscape, cause my Internet Explorer got hijacked, and has not recovered yet...

To change file associations, open Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Locate JPG, JPEG and GIF (among other image types) and change the program association to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Next, download Spybot search and destroy to try to clean out whatever has hijacked IE.
