What "unwanted, unsolicited jpegs" are you talking about? This appears to be your
first post here so I'm not sure what instructions you were following.
Are you able to login successfully, and can you use your computer?

You asked what kind of jpegs? ... 3 different people have access to this office computer,
and for whatever reason, someone opened an email or attachment with vulgar jpegs.
When I went to print out a legal doc, printing wizard showed over 100 different files
and jpegs. I tried to follow your forum instructions, but now I have the access violation
message I mentioned yesterday. I went to Shellex and deleted the MayChangeDefaultMenu
as you suggested, and when I closes Registry, I got the screen message.

Robert, best bet at this point would be to do a System Restore to before you made
the registry change.
I'm sort of partial to the Windows Picture and Fax viewer as the default for pics.
It's fast, allows you to easily rotate pictures and look through an entire folder
of pictures easily. It's not meant to be an image editing program.
If you do a System Restore and get rid of the error you are seeing, I would strongly
urge you to download and install ERUNT.
Allow it to add an entry to the Startup folder and every time you boot it will make
a complete backup of the registry. Then if anything like this happpens again you
have a quick, easy way to recover.
