I format somedays ago my HD and re-install Windows 98SE: . I re-install
also my scanner HP with the relative software; Now if i try to open a
picture clicking directly from the file(photo) i can't. open.
All the picture file (jpeg,jpg,bmp and all the format picture)are pointing
to a strange Adobe software that i don't have installed in my PC.I need to
open Windows Imaging and manually open the file.
What i have wrong in my Windows?
How can solve this strange behavior?

Left click once on a file you want to associate with a program to hilite it.
Next hold down the Shift key and right click on it to get the popup menu.
Select "Open With" from the list.
Select the program you want to open it with by left clicking it once.
Put a check in "Always open......."
Click Apply/Ok.

**Note: You may find it better to leave "Always open......." unchecked until
you are sure that you have the correct program you want to use. Once you are
sure of the program to use, then check it.

You need to change the association of each of those file types to use
something else in Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types.
Windows Imaging is not a suitable program for all picture file types,
so try IrfanView - Freeware Graphic Viewer:
http://www.irfanview.com/
(It will change the associations for you)

It is a "feature"....the "Open With" option for files that are already registered is
hidden unless you press the Shift key, probably to prevent users from messing up
their file associations too easily, but still giving the ability using the Shift
key.

That's the function of the Shift key - it causes the menu options to change.
