I work with idiots like Jeff all day who ask questions like "Is the *system* down?" for every problem they have. Since Jeff is such a techie basher and obviously can't comprehend the need for a little clarity, I had to respond (yes it a very late response but so was his)' The entire text of Prettywomanoffl's message was written as: I have a question about How do I turn on the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and make it as my default image viewer?: The "How do I turn on the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and make it as my default image viewer?" part was a link to the article 03-201: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-201 This article explains one was to do just as its article description says: "Turn on the Windows Picture and Fax Viewerand make it as my default image viewer". It is not the only way to do this of course, but without more info from 'Prettywomanoffl' you dont know for sure what her 'question' is. Did she try it and it didn't work? Did she need more info/clarification herself about a certain part of the article? "Non-techies" like Jeff are far too quick to make assumptions. Greg
