I recently installed an older app that automatically installed Quicktime 2.01 on my machine. Now I notice that all my JPEG files are listed in Windows (98SE) as file type = Quicktime Picture. Quicktime must have changed them from JPEG image to QT Picture. I managed to change the association for this file type so that they now open in Photoshop (as before), but I want to change the file type back to JPEG Image. This is so annoying. Can someone give me a way to change this. Win98 help says if I just delete the filetype I won't be able to open the files.

To change the application description associated with a file:

open Windows Explorer

from the tools menu, select FOLDER OPTIONS

in the folder options, click on the FILE TYPES tab,

scroll down the list of registered file types until you find the file type you want (Mine was listed as a "JPEG Image, you may have to scroll down to "Quicktime Picture")

Select the file type,

click on EDIT on the right side,

type in your desired description in "Description of type:"

click OK

click OK
