Ainol 10" tablet. I was on orange email and received a photo attachment. I clicked on it. It downloaded. I then chose "always show downloads in HTML" by mistake !
What an idiot. It now shows every download in gobbledegook. How do I undo my stupidity as cannot find it in settings. Its my mums tablet! Its mums email! I was trying to how her how to open the attachment photo and have completely messed it up
I really hope someone can help me fix it.
TIA.

Hi,

Try this..

go to settings - apps, make sure the tab at the top is selected to ALL.

Scroll down to find the Email app. Select it. Look on its info page (may have to scroll it) to see if 'Launch by default - clear defaults' button is available and if so click on it. See if that helps.

Thanks a lot. I should b more specific. Its not an app. Its on the web browser. She goes to WWW orange mail. Then we go into the in box.
Open the email, click on attachment and download . An icon comes on in bottom right screen of an arrow downloading. Then. Click n download so I could view the oic. But then I messed it up lol. In the settings you directed me to there isn't an "All" tab.
Any ideas now what to do as its the web browser we use for orange mail?
Thanks for trying to help much appreciated.

Oh OK. Sounds like you need to clear the defaults for the browser rather than email app. Do you know what version android you have? ( look in settings-about)

And which browser are you using? (Chrome tends to be default on Android, but other browsers can be used).

The browser is google. Or if that's you don't mean that then can you tell me where to look as the about says its Google but perhaps it would say that ! Not sure where else to find it. TIA.

Chrome = Google Chrome, and the icon (that you click on to open the browser) looks like this.

The browser is a blue world globe it doesn't look like that google chrome icon. Is that any help. I'm so used to iPad that its tricky to find what I need to know on the android sorry.

How do I find out the details of what browser it is? Thanks.
