Windows XP Home file associatopns

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

In 98SE I had all image files associated with Irfanview and double clicking on the file
name opened them in Irfanview. Since upgrading to XP home when I double click the file
name they open in Internet Explorer even through I went into Irfanview and associated all
image files with Irfanview plus in Foler Options, File Types the majority are still set
for Irfanview. How do I get them to open in Irfanview again??

Plus in 98SE if I highlighted file name and right clicked on it I would have the option
"Open with" if I held the Control or Shift key down.

How do I get them to open in Irfanview again?

TIA

Occupational Health and Safety means MS directors could be fined in NSW,
Australia if anyone here gets injured by following your advice. As death is
unlikely they probably aren't risking goal. But why do you wish to injure
people. Pretty stupid, eh.

Hi Sharon,

[[ I hate scrolling through something I just read ]]

Me too. :-D

Bottom vs. top posting argument is akin to gas vs. electric stove.
Preference only.

I just know someone is going to post saying they like a gas oven with an
electric cooktop. ;-)
