Open regedit


go here : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell


Inside shell, create a new key called openwpv


On the right side, double click the new key (default) and put a suitable name, eg Open with Windows Photo Viewer


Now, under OPENWPV, create a new key called command
Set its value to


%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1


Again under OPENWPV, create a new key called DropTarget

On the right side, create new string CLSID and set its value to {FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}

Now, when you RIGHT click a picture file, you will get the option "Open with Windows Photo Viewer" Or whatever you called it in step 1.


Hope that helps a bit

Thanks for the time Andy.

I don't seem to have that entry in my registry.

Scroll down past all the ones that are system.something


There is no dot in the one you are looking for


SystemFileAssociations is at the bottom of all the ones that start system.something

I can now view all pics via Photo Viewer just by double-clicking. Cheers Andy, you're a genius.
