changing what program is used?

When I right click a photo and click "edit", I would like for it to use Paint instead of whatever that default program is.

How do I do this?

Control Panel--->Default Programs--->Set Assosciations

Open With - Change Default Program

or

Default Programs - Associate a File Type or Protocol

or

Default Programs - Set a Program's Default Associations

That doesn't change the defualt edit program, just the program used to open that file type. If I want a .jpg file to open using Windows Live Gallery, but to be edited by Paint, then what?

Other Idea's? Or am I missing something?

In the short-term, use open with.

Since my sys is not "broken, I cannot test this, but see if the file type in question is located here in the registry.

thanks, but my machine is not "broken" either. I just want to make a change from default.

I appreciate the quick reply :)

Anyone have any thought's on this?

I don't actually think it's possible, you'll always have to do it manually, unless u want to view AND edit in Paint, then you can just set Pain as default.

With gimp it adds an option to "Edit with Gimp"

not sure if that helps

I refuse to give up! lol..Thanks.

And for the poster above this, I'll check into "gimp"?
