Ok here is the problem. I installed MacroMedia fireworks and set all .bmp .jpeg and .gif
files to open with it. They still opened with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer but the icon
was from Fireworks. So then I uninstalled Fireworks and the picture icon didn't go back to
the normal "Windows picture" icon but to the "unknow file icon". When i double clicked a
picture it still opened in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Then i wanted to edit one .bmp
and save it as a .jpeg file ( as you know the file size decrease from 300KB to like 70 KB when it is in .jpeg format.) When i saved the file to a .jpeg file with Paint the icon was stilla "unknown file icon" and when i double clicked the picture the "with what program would you like to open this file with" box poped up. So i choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer but couldn't set it to open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer everytime because the check box was dimmed. The file opened just fine but i can'y insert the file in any e-mail because id doesnt recognize it as a picture file. Then i tried to change the extension to .jpeg and the icon stayed the same but it opened imediately with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. So is this a Paint problem? Because i know it worked everytime when i saved a file as .jpeg and now it doesn't. Or is there any tweak so i could set every .bmp .gif and .jpg file to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? I'm gettin annoyin to change the extension to .jpg when i save a file with Paint. And i checked the properties of the file . I included a screenshot of what im talkin about.
