I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 installed on my computer. Tonight when I went into a folder of some photos of a guitar player I noticed that some of them the icon had a tack on the top of it and it said PREFS on it. When I double-clicked on it and Elements opened it showed no picture. There is no preview either like there normally is when I just single click on the icon. I went into Properties and it said it was a PSP file.

I already have gone into Edit-File Associations and hit "Select All". I don’t know why I can’t open these particular photos but I know I’m kind of disgusted that I can’t. I certainly don’t want to install Paint Shop Pro just to open a few files. Anybody know if I can fix this?

Download IrfanView and try that if you don’t already have it. If it can open the fles, save them in another format like tiff, psd, jpg.
