Question about 'Prevent Programs From Changing Your File Types'

I have a question about Prevent
Programs From Changing Your File Types:
It seems that MS Photo Editor won't "let go" of the association it established with
.gif and .jpg.
I have gone to the File Types section of Folder Options and set both extensions to
open with IE. They still open with Photo Editor (even though I have double checked
and they SAY they are to open with IE).
I have tried the "on the fly" work around, That is, I have held the shift key while
right clicking a file with .gif and .jpg extensions. I have checked the "always
open with this program box". i have then selected IE as the program to open the
file with. MS Photo Editor STILL was the program that opened the files. I am running
Win98. This is very weird.

Ctstan. Try to mark and remove the whole file extention in Folder options. Then double-click
the file and scroll through programs and select alway open in IE. Maybe this will
work. Could also try a reboot between to make sure.

John, thanks. It worked. I guess MS Photo Editor was just too stubborn to accept
a simply reassignment of the association. Removing it did the trick. Thanks again.
