After opening a TIF image file from within the ImageVue Imaging program (win2k OS) it appears that ImageVue has been automatically assigned as the default program to open all TIF files from within windows explorer.
Any attempt to open a TIF file from within Windows Explorer results in the image file being opened via ImageVue "Imaging".
Doing a right mouse click within win explorer on any TIF file and selecting Properties results in the display "Opens with: Imaging".
Any attempt to re-asssign Photoshop as the program to open TIF files (using the "Properties/Change" routine) is met with the response "Unknown application".
Following this routine, double clicking on any TIF file from within win explorer is met with the response "The device is not ready".
A follow up of the same "Properties/Change" routine and selecting "Imaging" as the program to be used is successfully confirmed.
A further effort to assign Photoshop as the primary "opener" via Control Panel/Folder Options/File Types is met with a similar failure, with the response "You have customized files with extension ‘TIF’. To restore these files to their default type (TIF Image Document), click Restore." Clicking Restore seemingly has no affect, except to reaffirm Imaging as the primary "opener".
All TIF image files can be normally opened from within Photoshop.
Any suggestions as to how to get Photoshop reassigned as the primary "opener" for TIF files will be greatly appreciated. My operating system is win2k.
