You described how to make "open" invoke the Pic&Fax Viewer. In [my] explorer's file context menu, there is also an option "preview". I want to know how to make "preview" invoke the Pic&Fax Viewer. -- Gregor mit dem Motorrad auf Reisen http://hothaus.de/greg-tour/ noise seems to convey great ideas of power to the ignorant - James Watt

You may need to find the proper registery entry to change. Since "preview" is a default option, It could be as simple as changing "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With" to {09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936} . But that is just a guess. You'd be better off posting to a Microsoft newsgroup vs this multi-platform application newsgroup. Until, you find the real answer, you can add your own "My Preview" option by opening Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types. Select your extension, click Advanced. Click New. Action: My Preview Application used ..... : rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1 -- Len

My problem was that I tried to change the file type entry for "JPG". However, this one is just a clone of file type "JPEG". Once I got JPEG fixed, JPG was OK as well. -- Gregor mit dem Motorrad auf Reisen http://hothaus.de/greg-tour/ noise seems to convey great ideas of power to the ignorant - James Watt |
