I have a question about How do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?:

The question is: Why the heck do they keep this description WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK!!! I still keep getting the shitty viewer even after i've done what they suggest...

if you right click on an image and get the properties open- cjange the file that 
it opens with to one of your choosing and check the box to always use that proggy...

You might direct your question to the webmaster. Nobody down here makes decisions on things like this. Seems like it ought to work anyway. I didn't have any trouble turning of Fax Viewer etc.

It's odd.. apparently it does work for some people. I wonder if Microsoft heard about this and changed way it worked in some security patches (to prevent people from changing it)

Are you using home or prof version? I tried searching the registry and changing all references to BMP to BMX instead. Next day "something" (windows probably) had created all new BMP entries and we were back to square one...

Window scans its registry every startup and fixes what they feel are critical flaws. System extensions are mostly not permitted to be changed.
