I'm not really sure if "File Association" is really the right term for what I am thinking of, but here is the deal.

I just installed Paint Shop Pro 9 and now all of the image files on my computer are automatically associated with that program. So their little icons are the PSP9 logo and when I click on some, they are opened automatically in PSP9. Is there anyway to lay a blanket setting over all images that says they are opened the regular way, or through the regular Windows Image Viewer?

Hopefully this query makes sense!

Thanks guys.

- Open up "My Computer"
- Click "Tools" at the top of the window. This will open up a new window.
- Choose "File Types" at the top of the new window.
- The file types (JPG, GIF, PNG, PSD, PSP, etc.) will show up under the "File Types category."
- Find the one you want to change, for example, "GIF Image." Click it once. Below you will see an icon for the program that the file is currently opening in.
- Click "Change." This will bring up a new window. Usually the "Windows Picture & Fax Viewer" is available right there. If you want to use that, click that. If you want to open it with a different program, click "Browse" at the bottom and find the .EXE file for that program.

That should do it.
