Answer 1

These instructions should work whether your running WinXP or not. You need to change the file associations back to IE.

1. Right click on a JPG file, any one and chose the option to "OPEN WITH" from the popup menu, then select CHOOSE PROGRAM.

2. Another window will come up asking you what program to use to open this type of file.

3. Click on Internet Explorer in the list in that window and check the box at the bottom of the window that states "Always use this program to open this type of file." Then click OK.

That should change the file association back in the easiest way and keep it that way.

Answer 2

Try Firefox!

Firefox is More Safer and Faster than IE, Anti Pop-ups, Anti-spyware and tabbed Browsing.

Here you can download Firefox1.5 with Google Toolbar for Free:

Hope this Helps. Good Luck to You.

Answer 3

Try right-clicking the file and going to Properties. On the General tab should be an Open With... button.

Answer 4

Internet Explorer is screwed up and - as in most cases you can try reinstalling the IE 6.0 installer which might help or otherwise make it worse.

Better use the Firefox or Opera browser.
