    Hi.I was editing a power point article that I made and while trying to just save the main picture some how I must have activated the " Microsoft Office Picture Manager" and now everything opens in that instead of " Picture and Fax Veiwer ". Can I change it back or will I have to remove Office and then reinstall it to get rid of it. I dont actually remember activating it but I managed to crop my P P article Ok.???
    It is not a great drama but I prefer the Veiwer to the Manager.
    Thanks in advance . Cheers Des. :mad:

    Thanks Steve. Just a question? All my photo's are in my " My Documents" file , if I follow your instructions on the full file will it change the lot or do I have to do it with each picture or folder.? Thanks Des. :)

    No you won't have to. All files with that extension will be opened with the program you chose.
