If, as I do, you use the Windows Picture and Fax viewer to preview images and use a more sophisticated image editor than MSPAINT. Perhaps you would like to have the option of launching your favorite image editor on the image from the Preview/Viewer. (there is an icon for this in the control panel of the viewer or Ctrl+E which by default launches MSPAINT) Here is a tweak to change the default editor:
Open your registry and find the key :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\she ll\edit\command]
Modify the (Default) value to the full path of your favorite editor.
Note: The string of the path name should INCLUDE the quotes and the %1 argument. For example:
"C:\Program Files\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 8\Paint Shop Pro.exe" "%1"
The default entry for this value is:
"%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1"
------
"eXPerience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards."
