Hi, recently I downloaded something and attempted to try to open it via an image program it didnt work but my prblm is now everything I download is in image format... how do i change it to where it either asks me what I want to open it with or so that it is in winzip format. Im using Windows 98 SE.

Thanks

If all you want to do is change the application that opens when you double-click the icon, just hold down Shift as you right-click the document and then choose Open With.Then you either select an application from the list, or click Other to browse for the right one. Now click Open. In the Open With dialog box, be sure to check Always use this program to open this type of file and click OK.

You can try going into MY COMPUTER-VIEW-Folder options-File types and remove any image files or files that you want to be re associated and than close and the next time there is an image file it will ask you "Open with". That works for all types offiles.
