Hold down the shift key, and right click an image.
Select Open with, and find windows picture and fax viewer.
Put a tick in the "Always use this program ", and OK.

If that doesn't work, open Explorer, Tools, Folder options, File types.
Scroll down until you find JPG, select it, then click on Change.
Select pic and fax viewer, put the tick mark in, OK.

 

I cannot find the pic and fax viewer by any method indicated. I want to be able to look at faxes sending by the xp fax. When i click on preview, I dont see it then either

 

Picture and fax viewer is part of Explorer.exe
If you have any other image viewer that is the default viewer (you set it that way in options) then it won't work.
Every image viewer/editor that I have seen, has an option to NOT be the default viewer for multiple file types. Look in the options/preferences menu's.

 

If you don't have Image and Fax Viewer on your computer, you can install it from your XP CD using Option 2: Install additional software and choosing Picture and Fax Viewer.

If all you have is the manufacturer's restore or recovery CD, put that in the CD drive while Windows is running and see if it offers the same option (some do, some don't).
