How to change from Microsoft Photo Editor to Microsoft Pictures & Fax Viewer?

08/29/2011 04:17 by ScottHamman

Hello..I just reformatted my PC

and the default picture viewer is the Microsoft Photo Editor.

I'm so used to the Pictures & Fax viewer since it allows me to browse around my image folders more smoothly.

Any ideas how I can change the setting so that Pictures & Fax Viewer will be my default image viewer?

  • Go to a picture file anywhere on your computer.

    1. right click on it
    2. go to "open with..."
    3. a new window will appear with a list of programs that can open the file
    4. select Microsoft picture and fax viewer
    5. at the bottom of that window you will see a checkbox that says "always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    6.click "ok" and you should be set.
