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

I have looked at all the tips here as my problem is that Picture viewer has stopped working. I tried to use open with to reset but that doesn't work either. When I ran Rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll, Imageview_Fullscreen %1 I get a message saying Error in c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll Missing Entry: Imageview_Fullscreen. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried putting this into run?

regsvr32 \windows\system32\shimgvw.dll

Windows has to restart for if to start working again.

Go to windows explorer hold the shift key down while right clicking on an image file sekect "open with" and choose the program with which you wish to open the file with. Don't forget to check the box at the bottom that says "aleays open with this program."
