Thanks for the tip. The Viewer opens fine now. However, In the Viewer the Editor button (Ctrl-E) no longer functions. When I click on it, the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer closes (as it should), but the Editor (in my case Microsoft Photo Editor) never starts up. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? It appears to me that the registry link has disappeared. Thanks, Chuck
