"Preview" program has changed in WinXP. No idea how to change it back.

[Matt_Stevens]

Hi gang. This may sound silly, but I am stumped. Adobe Image Reader has taken over the PREVIEW function. As in, right click on an image and hit preview, it used to be Microsoft Office Picture Manager that opened the file. My wife loved that program and I have grown used to it.

Now Adobe Image Ready does it and I cannot figure out how to change it back.

Note I am not talking about OPEN. That remains Paint Shop Pro, my program of choice. But right click and Preview is what I am talking about.

So simple, yet so difficult to change back when you don't know the answer.

Try this:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
regsvr32 shmedia.dll

The first line is for images, the second line is for media.
