I have a question related toHow
do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?:
Whenever I try to print .tif faxes, the wizard pops up that requires me to go through
a number of steps before being able to print the document. I would like to disable
this wizard...it wastes time. I just wants to be able to print my fax immediately!

If the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is set as the default for many of your graphic
file types,
you can remove it so other graphics programs can be used.
Run Regedit
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / SystemFileAssociations / image / ShellEx / ContextMenuHandlers
Delete the key ShellImagePreview

The easiest way to change this is to save your tif or jpeg to your desktop, right
click on it, choose open with, then choose program.. choose internet explorer and
put a check mark in always use this program.
This will fix it.
