RE: How do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?

There is a very useful $35 utility called Open+ from www.capio.cc (not .com).  The 
utility allows you to specify a list of programs which can be used to open any file 
type.  So if I clicked on a .jpg, it might offer me Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop Elements, 
etc. (depending on what programs I have on my HDD).  IN ADDITION, the utility allows 
you to control exactly which file types are used by the image previewer.  There's 
a list of file types with check boxes -- very easy.
