Photo Software

I can offer two solutions. The first is very easy if you are running W2k or XP. Instead of double clicking the file, right click and select the open with option. Then just browse to the .exe file that will open the program you want. If you want a more permanent solution, open windows explorer, select tools, then folder options. Select the file types tab and browse for the file extension associated with the file type (in this case for your photo). Change it to the program you want it defaulted to.

There are a variety of ways to do this but all really do the same thing.

Open windows exloprer. You can do this by pressing down and holding the windows flag on your keyboard and then pressing the letter e on the keyboard.
Then choose the following:
Tools > Folder Options > file types.
In the details for extention select the extention you want your software application photos to open with E.g. if your files are .Jpgs then associate them with say Microsoft photo editor ot whichever photo application you wish to open them with.

Another way to do it is to right click one of your photos and right click the photo then under the general tab choose opens with and select the Software that you want the photo's to open with.

Most image editors allow you to set them as the default program for opening specific types of files.

Look at the settings, options, preferences for the photo editor you like.

There should be a setting to make the program the default application for specific image types.

Select the file formats that you wish to open with the program and apply the change.

If you let us know the specific program you prefer, we should be able to guide you through the settings menu.
