     Well sort of!
    Normally, when I open pictures(jpg ect.)they open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Last night I loaded pics from my digital camera to My Pictures. When I click on the thumbnails, they open with Office Picture Manager and I don't know why. How do I reset the WP&FV to the default program?
