I recently installed a webcam. I use Thunderbird for my email. Now every time I try to open a photo, it tries to open with NeroShowtime. On Thunderbird I have gone into --Tools, Options, Attachments, View & Edit Actions--I made sure it was set to IrfanView for opening photos. The next time I try to open a photo Nero overrides it and tries to open the photo. What do I have to do to permanently set it to IrfanView? -- Thanks, Donna Never be afraid to try something new.

Hi Donna, I had sent this to someone earlier as they were having issues with WordPad opening MS Word Documents... I think it applies to your photo issue... -------- It sounds to me like this is a file association issue. Please take a look at this video... http://video.about.com/windows/Windows-XP-File-Associations.htm Does this address your issue ? Regards, Kevin.
