Pissed I cannot open Gifs or JPEG

I messed with the file associations of my GIFs and JPEGs and now I can only open Gifs and Jpegs by using PSP8. What I did was when I was in PSP, I went to File,Preferences,File Associations and listed GIFs and JPegs to be associated with PSP. When I realized that was stupid, I went back in and undid it but now it wont reopen them without PSP.

Now what do I do?

Just a shot in the dark here...I dont have PSP8 so I cant test it out for myself...but you could try un-installing PSP and windows should revernt back to defaults, and then just reinstall it..

Open up Explorer, go to Tools...Folder Options, and then click on File Types. From there, you can change which programs are used to open up files.

I don't know what Windows is set to use by default for GIFs; possibly IE or Paint. A good image-viewing utility is Irfanview, and it is free.
