| | How to reset default associations in Vista I am running Vista Ultimate, with Office 2007. I was happily using Office Picture Manager to view my jpeg images until I let picassa 3.0 from Google grab the file associations that it wanted. Now, I want to set them back, but when I go to the default associations manager, it does not list the Office Picture Manager, just the Windows Picture Manager. How do I get it to find and present the Office Picture Manager and allow then grab all the defaults back? I was able to give jpeg to the Office Picture Manager, and I could do that for the other defaults that it might use, but I do not know all the file types it wants. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA |

Hope this helps you. |
