Hello,

I found the solution for my dilema and here I am posting it for others who may need the help.

I did not wanted to associate .jpeg with photoshop, but I wanted for photoshop to be my default editing program from windows viewer. The problem was that everything I wanted to open an image that I was viewing using windows image viewer, photoshop would not be listed as one of the open/with preffered applications, instead other less related applications would be listed.

Solution:

Open windows explorer, not (my computer), in the folder mode. go the tools menu, folder options and edit the file extention of your choice, in my case I choose jpg extention to first open with windows viewer, and to be edited with photoshop as the default image editor. Perffect!

Maney,

Thank you for that great tip!
I needed to add the "edit" action to the advanced properties and then browsed to add Photoshop.exe as the associated program. It worked like a charm!

How do I stop CS from starting up when I use fax viewer preview [a win XP program]? The "Preview Fax?" button does not give right-click option to de-associate CS.

Is there there some generic way to prevent CS from opening image files by default here, or in every case?

This is part of the same aggravating, piggy, corporate attitude that puts a useless ADOBE folder in My Documents and many subfolders.
