outlook problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Sounds like when you installed Netscape you let it take
ownership (file associations) to too many files. Right the
icon (file) and select "open with" and select the program
you want. If it works as you want, do it again and check
the box, "a;ways open with" and your issue is solved.

I think your file associations are messed up, so that Netscape is
associated with jpg files.

Steve - thanks for the advice. That has worked in that JPEG opens up with
windows viewer when I click on it now. How do I get JPEG to automatically
open when I open email with Outlook?

cpj, you are quite welcome. I think, and others please comment, that
there are inline images and images that show as attachments. I would
think you don’t have a problem with inline images (i.e. the ones that
show naturally as part of the message). Attachments are always opened
with external applications, so I don’t think there is anything one can
do about that.
