Setup/preferences for PSE3

Definitely a green bean here and just upgraded to PSE3. Fresh install on new pc and I'm seeing it start whenever I just view files in My Pictures, which is getting a little annoying. Is there any way to turn this off? I looked at and tried a few ideas, but with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hi there and welcome to the forum

Hopefully this will work for you ... right click on any picture on your hard drive and select "Open With". Then select the Choose Program option from the menu. Select the program you want to open the picture from the list and also check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box.

You have to do this for each file types (e.g. jpegs).

hello, it's a file association thing..in XP right click on files and choose 'open with' then select ' choose program' from the bottom of the list. Next screen scroll down to ' windows picture and fax viewer'( or whatever you prefer to view your images with )...check that and then at the bottom check ' always open with this program. You may have to do that will all other file types you do not want pe3 to have open for you...if that is what it's doing. It's a bossy little piggy program...likes to be in control of everything

I see that...it helps to know a bit here and there. Mark Reibman had sent me a mac screenshot a while back to show the path for installing styles on a mac. So I have that for reference from time to time

Not hard to do... didn't have to do each one individually either... that was a surprise. Thanks again.

The only individual bit you have to do is for the different types of files (jpg, psd, tiff etc) ....

If you had to do each image that really would be awful

Glad you are up and running again ....
