I have always used iView for viewing JPGs and other pics. Since XP, it wants to use it's own crappy viewer. I have tried to stop this program from running, but it is a part of Windows Explorer. My settings in iView does not help, and it is set up asthe default picture viewer.
How do I stop XP's picture viewer from coming up? I have changed the viewer type of jpgs for iView, but this Windows XP program keeps coming up. How do I remove it?

I'm not sure if this will help but here are a few things you may want to try... Change the Default Action for JPG Files... To change the default action for a file type:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel , click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options to open the Folder Options dialog box.

2. Click the File Types tab.

3. In the File Types list, click the file extension you want to modify.

4. Click the Advanced button to open the Edit File Type dialog box.

5. Click the command that you want to make the default command, and then click Set Default.

6. Click OK, then click Close.

The only other thing I can think of is to try the Add or Remove Programs tool...
