If there is no association control in the pic and fax viewer, go to the Folder Options (under Settings on the Start Menu), click file types tab...
You will need to find the file types that you want, ex JPEG Image, select Edit, then in the Actions area, 'Open'. You can browse for the exe that you want to open that type.

Right click on the file .. and instead of going to Open .. go to Open With - go to the Choose Program option, even though Windows Picture and Fax viewer is shown; select the Windows Picture and Fax viewer and then check mark the box for 'Always open with selected program'

Oh yeah, that's easier.

Statica how to I get Open With... in the right-click menu? Because my computer doesn't have that.
