Hi again!
I uninstalled and reinstalled Office and made sure Photo Editor was not set to be installed again. I fixed my little problem I was trying to, however the issue with the images still was not fixed. Despite what I told setup to do, it installed Photo Editor without my permission so it's right back on here and I cannot fix the icons again. - Atryeu --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi! > > Thanks for the response!
