Solved How to restore gifs to open with the default file viewer?

[ashleyquick]

They're now opening with Internet Explorer. Can someone tell me how to restore gifs (in Windows 7) to open with the default Windows file viewer?

I tried that and it doesn't list Windows Photo Viewer.

Hello Ashley,

In addition, you could also download and merge the GIF option in the tutorial below to restore all of it's default associations.

EDIT:
However, the default viewer for gif files is Internet Explorer.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
