Help photos only opening with paintshop

:eek: Help, I am trying to download some photos from my digital camera to PC. They will only open in paintshop, which is no good - I am sure they normally open as jpeg files? Or similar, but def not paintbox! I can have as a slide show but can't flip properly etc.

All other photo files are now also opening with paintbox, so I think DS has changed default. Can anyone advise?

    Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder options > File types

    Scroll down and select JPEG file.

    Select Change and select the program you want file to open with (ensure always use this program is ticked).

    - Highlight the file
    - Hold down the shift button
    - Right click and you should have Open With

    Thanks both of you, tried a combination of both (had a blonde moment :o ) and it's back to normal.
