Re:Solution: In Win98, hold the shift key, right click the file, select "Open With", select the program, check the "always use..." box. Works with all file associations.

The association "looked" correct and yet seems it needed refreshing. I clicked My Computer, View, Folder Options, File Types, highlighted GIF, Edit, New, Action (open), Application (browsed to Lview), OK, Close, and repeated the above for JPG's. ...
