Remove Microsoft Picture Manager as default

Asked by pbsid in Microsoft Operating Systems, Windows XP Operating System, Windows Vista

Tags: Microsoft, XP / Vista

Hi.
Microsoft Picture Manager is now the default for opening all jpg's and bmp's. This program is considerably slower to open images than the older Windows Picture and Fax viewer.
I'd like to set the default for opening all jpg's and bmp's to Windows Picture and Fax viewer. I have to do this on 500 PCs (mixed XP and Vista) so I need either a registry change that I can deploy or possibly a GPO (but dought there's a GPO for this!). We are running Svr 2003 R2.
Thanks in advance.Start Free Trial
