Default image viewer - how do i change it?

MDUK

i recently loaded dreamweaver and it has installed itself as the defualt image viewer ( i don't remember agreeing to that) so now everyp .bmp, .jpg etc i try and open uses dreamweaver which is really naffing me off.

I should know this but i really can't remember how to change it to make another program my default.

Advice gratefully received

For any W98 users out there. When you right click the image, you also need to hold down the shift key to bring up the 'open with' option.

I just went to have a look at the link you posted, and had a winfixer warning flash up. My security is enough to take care of this, but god forbid anyone gets this.

Absolutely no chance. I've seen this on systems before. I know for a fact this system is clean as a whistle. I clicked the link a second time, and didn't get the warning, but I wouldn't joke about this malware in a forum. I don't think the link you've posted is 100% safe.

No problems my end or according to scandoo If your system is infected if you need a hand getting rid of Winfixer just start a new thread in the techie forum.

I have also see this before.

Like I said, I know for certain that I don't have this malware on my system......

Cheers for removing the link.

Just check though please as a precaution I would hate to see any problems arise because of putting to much trust in certain software/hardware,

Link went as there isnt much point promoting even one bad reaction :beer:

Dear Original Poster sorry that the thread went as they say "off topic"

I appreciate what you are saying. I've already done a manual search through the system, and a quick HJT scan. I haven't found one single item to indicate a problem. This is aside from no warnings off other security software I have in place that warns me when something tries to make a change to the system.
