Or sometimes you can right click the file while holding down the shift key and select "open with....." or "choose program", something like that. Then you can pick the program you want to open the file and check the box that states something like "always use this program to open this type file". Sometimes that doesn't always work. If you go with the changing of file associations option, you scroll through the list to pick the file types, then you have to click some buttons to change "open with" or something like that. I can't recall exactly. It may be on the opening window of "file types" and you'll see the button, or there may be an "edit" button and you first have to click it in order to change how the file type opens. If worse comes to worse, you may have to chose the option in "folder options" to show file extensions, and rename the file extensions back to what they were, like if they were images IE probably opened them previously. If that's the case you may have do what I mentioned above to once again associate IE with the opening of images. (.gif, .jpg, .png, whatever). Any time you install software that comes with a printer, scanner, or whatever, don't ever pick the "typical" installation if given the option. Always pick "advanced" or "custom" so you can stop these "hijackings" of your file types. Not always, but usually somewhere in those areas you can associate/DISassociate the software with your current file types. -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Folks.. I have two different photo imaging programs on my p.c. OS Win 98SE.. 1. ACD.. which I want as default to view. 2. U Lead.. which is the one that keeps coming up.. I loaded my scanner software on this week.. and U Lead came with that program.. so I loaded it too.. thinking I needed it to work the scanner.. I tried to remove U Lead..but then the pictures that I had scanned would not open.. Can someone tell me how to make the change.. so that ACD will be the imaging program that I view with.. Hope I am making sense.. Thanks so much for all your help.. Liz ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
