I'm using windows vista and the default picture viewer really sucks big time. I want to set vista to always open pictures i have saved to my computer in Firefox.
How can i do this?
How do i change the default program to view pictures in.?
Right click the file you want to open (with the mouse). When the context menu appears, find and select %26quot;open with%26quot;. On the submenu, select %26quot;choose default program%26quot; (click it once). A window appears showing a selection of programs recommended by windows that could open your file or you can browse for a program in your computer that you think would open the file. I recommend to choose from the selection shown. Click to highlight the program you want. You will notice a box ticked on the lower left side of the window which means whatever you choose will become the default program to open the file. Click OK.
All the files in your computer of the same type as the one you right clicked will automatically have the program you've chosen as the default program to open them.

Im really bad with Vista although I have it as 2nd boot system (never use it) but in XP you can right click the file u want to open than choose %26quot;Open with...%26quot; it will give the a list of programs, click on Firefox (or browse button to find it on you HDD if its not in the list) and click the box that says %26quot;Always use this programm to open this file type%26quot; (smthing like that) and click %26quot;OK%26quot;. Next time u can just double click the file and it will be opened by Firefox. You can try the same in Vista Im guessing.
