Hello, I used the option for opening images with photoshop at default, and now everytime I click on an image it opens with photoshop which was not my intent. How can I undo that setting so when I click on an image it will appear normally again instead of opening through photoshop? Thanks

To change the program that opens a file
Open My Documents.
If the file you want is not located in My Documents or its subfolders, use Search to find it. To open Search, click Start, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders.

Right-click the file you want to open in a different program, and then click Properties.
On the General tab, click Change.
Click the name of the program in which you want the file to open.

Until you are sure this is the Program you ALWAYS want to use DON't place a checkmark in the box instructing you to do that at the bottom left of Programs box.

The normal way to do it is to right click and Select Open With... You can then select the application that will display the file and click the box the indicates to use this application every time. Normally this will be Windows Picture and Fax viewer.

Alternatively you can go to Tools > Folder Options in Windows Explorer. Click File types and scroll down the the type of image file you are interested in and change it from there.
