Question about 'How do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?'

By default, Windows XP opens all picture files (gif,jpg,...) with the
included Windows Picture and Fax Viewer no matter what other picture
viewers you have installed. To disable the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer, unregister shimgvw.dll. This can be done from command prompt:
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
(Additional note: unregistering shimgvw.dll will also disable thumbnail
view in Explorer and may cause problems changing user account and
desktop background pictures. To reenable Picture and Fax viewer again
type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. DON'T FORGET TO REBOOT

I registered BMP with Paint,JPG and GIF with an Irfanview32 that's all.
These are the common formats I work with and use.The rest Shimgvw can keep.
