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

My windows Picture and Fax Viewer program will not work after installing Service Pack 2. Trying the suggestions offered to restore it after making it not work in Solution 1, the value will not remain in the default string value. In solution 2 there is no value showing. Advice please. I want it back.

Do you want it on or off. You say both in your post.

In regards to my message, dated Nov. 4 2004. I found the answer written by Anoyances.org on February 2, 2002 with changes to the registry. This works for me. K Hancey
