I have a question about How
do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?:
My faxes open up in photoshop, but I want them to open in windows pic and fax viewer
by default - how do I ensure this happens every time?

This problem requires a registry change to correct. Here are several fixes:
Solution #1:
* Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
* Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ SystemFileAssociations\ image\ ShellEx\ ContextMenuHandlers.
* Delete the ShellImagePreview key.
* Close the Registry Editor when you're done; the change will take effect immediately.
Solution #2:
* Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
* Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ CLSID\ {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}\ shellex.
* Delete the MayChangeDefaultMenu key.
* Close the Registry Editor when you're done; the change will take effect immediately.
