Hi there!
Sorry for another post here, but I managed to delete Photo Editor finally. I had to completely remove Office and delete a ton of extra folders it left on the system and reinstall which seemed to do the trick. The image icons went back to default, however when I specify a program for them to open by default with, the icons go right back to what I'm trying to get rid of. Any sort of program that can change the file type icons would be great! I have tried one called Icon Phile (I think that was the name) but it did not change the icons for me. Any further information or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for all of the help! - Atryeu --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi Rupert, > > When I bring up the option to change the program used to open the > file type, it does not give me the option to change the icon as well. > From the looks of some of the other file types, I need to do that > through the "Advanced" tab which doesn't show up for the image types > when I have it set to Image Preview. > > I tried out the Irfanview program and it isn't to bad.
