My JPEG's have been saved with a program that I don't have anymore. I would like to just click on them and have them opened by Photoeditor. How do I do this with Windows 95?

Open Windows Explorer and go to the View menu and select options.

From there click on the File Types menu and find JPEG file image in Registered file types list.

Select it and click Edit... button.

Next select open on the Actions menu and click the Edit... button.

In the application used to perform action enter the location of the application you want to use to open jpeg files with.

That will do it.

Also, just edit the location and make sure you keep all the added options at the end of the address.

hold down the shift key & rt clk on a jpg, the "open with" option should be on the dropdown menu.

That would work too! But make sure you click on the "always open with this type of file" option.

For the sake of detail:
Shift right click a .jpeg and then hit 'p' on the keyboard until you see photo editor (assuming it starts with 'p', I don't have that program) selected, then check always use this program and then 'ok'.

Updateing from catchup.cnet, Ulead Photo Explorer-opened the download to let the update join the Ulead file and it changed all
Jpeg to some kind of Microsoft flag icon.
Now i have read your responses to fixes but
can we go into a more indepth answers, every
detail starting with click file types and
beyond.Cheryl Leff at betterbusinesswebs.com
1-916-987-7009 wrote on her type of complete change and what she says to do, well she got
you up into the area of registered file types
theres where things get confusing,but on she went with more steps that need to be explained.My Ulead complete change did not
leave its name in the registered file types
list-so which one wants to stand up and say
"I did it,it was me." So is there some manual
on this area of this hair puller? Some human
to talk to about this?Microsoft is NO help,
but why not? Oh, lost my dial up connection
hope this gets to you helpful folks.
Sincerely, Its just a LEARNING CURVE!
