Picture Association Problem

Hi All:

When I open a picture ( GIF, JPG or BMP ) it opens in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, I want the GIF's and JPG's to open in Explorer, and the BMP's to open in MS Paint.

I would also like the GIF's and JPG's to open FULL SCREEN so I don't have to wait for that X to show up at the bottom right that you have to click to get full screen.

I really don't want to use F-11 either.

Your help will be very much appreciated, and thanks ahead of time,

Bill Lane

Use the File Types tab in Control Panel>Folder Options and change the program you want to use to open any particular file.

Hmmm, I don't see Explorer as an option. Maybe someone else knows a way.

Opening JPEG's in Explorer simply brings them up in IE.

At least on my computer
