I don't know what I've done to my computer, but whenever I try to open a jpg attachment it tries to open it in word and I end up getting a File Conversion window popping up and I can't seem to view the jpg.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix this problem so I can view jpg's in the normal fashion.

Many thanks in advance.

Open up My Documents
Click on Tools > Folder Options
Click on the File Types tab
Scroll down and find JPG, then click on the Change button
Scroll down the list of program choices and locate your Picture viewing program.

NOTE: If you don't have IrfanView installed, I could not recommend it enough. It's a fantastic, small, powerful and FREE picture viewing and converting utility.

Download it here: IrfanView - Reviews and free IrfanView downloads at Download.com (http://www.download.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10021962.html?part=dl-IrfanView&subj=dl&tag=button&cdlPid=10865169)


Make sure there is check mark next to Always use the selected program to open this kind of file and click on OK, then Close
