Vista - windows mail will not open .jpg

does not have a program associated with opening this. set associations not in
control panel. jpg not listed when accessed through help

Open "Default Programs", which you can reach from the start menu
or via the Control Panel. Click on "Associate...", and wait for the list
to become populated. Scroll down to .jpeg and .jpg. Double-click on
each in turn and select Windows Photo Gallery as the default.

When you wrote "...set associations not in control panel...", what did you
mean? If you view Control Panel in "Classic View" there should be an icon
called "Default Programs." Open it and then open "Associate a file type or
protocol with a program." There you will find what program is associated
with jpg files. By default it is Windows Photo Gallery.

No .jpg or .jpeg on the list of file extensions? That's a new one
for me. Perhaps someone else know how to add a missing extension.

Hmmm...that's odd. You need to add the jpg and jpeg to that list. I'm not
sure how to do it "officially" but I was able to add a new extension this
way: Rename any graphics file (doesn't really matter at this point...it
could even be a text file) to "something.jpg". Right-click on
"something.jpg" and choose Properties. In the "General" tab, click on
"Change". This will open an "Open With" window. Select the program you would
like jpg files to open with (I chose Windows Photo Gallery). Then click on
the OK button. Now jpg will show up in the "Set Associations" listing
mentioned below. I just tried it by creating a fictitous "wam" file
extension and it worked. Repeat the same process for the jpeg extension.

I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do this but it worked for me.
