Try going right clicking on any jpg file and clicking on properties. It should show what program is associated with it (to view it) - just to the right there is a button marked CHANGE - click on it and MS will suggest various viewers.

Hey TheMysterio,

Try this. Left Click once on one of the files that you want to change its association. Then, while holding the SHIFT key, Right Click (or just Right Click on the file without having to highlight the file first and you shouldn't have to hold the SHIFT key)... Select Open With within the option menu, and then find the program you want to open it with... Be sure to have the check box on the bottom that says Always use this program to open this type of file checked so that it will hold its new association. You should now be able to see the new icon to the program you are now using to open that file.

Hope this makes sense and hope this helps you out some

Good luck!
