Title: Pictures file association messed up, can't see my pictures...
Post by: melen001 on July 06, 2015, 04:37:32 pm

I have a problem after I installed a program, FreeViewer, which has removed my Windows File Association and included it's own files. When ever i go to my Pictures Folders all i see is the icon of the program that i use to view my pictures which is Nexus Image Viewer and this also happens using any other viewer. In order to see my pictures i have to use the viewer and i don't have the preview that Windows Explorer offers. As you can see in the attached photo all you see is the Nexus Icon and no picture....... I am also including the zip file on what FreeViewer removed and added to my PC. I have currently removed FreeViewer. I would like to know if i run your repair tool will it fix this issue?????

All you need to do is right click on one of your pictures, and in the right click menu go to "Open With", then under it click on "Choose Default Program"

When that opens highlight the default program you want to use, such as the built in Windows picture and fax viewer, then at the bottom put a check on make this the default and then click ok.

That is one fast way to do it, the other way is to go to control panel and go to default programs and set the default there as well :-)
