You can also change the file associations for the specific file types you want.

1. Open the Windows Explorer
2. Go to Tools / Folder Options / File Types
3. Scroll down to the extension you want to change
4. Click on the Change button
5. Select the program you want to associate with that extension
6. Click on the OK button

If the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is set as the default for many of your graphic file types,
you can remove it so other graphics programs can be used.

1. Run Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / SystemFileAssociations / image / ShellEx / ContextMenuHandlers
3. Delete the key ShellImagePreview

Thanks for the info!

I love picture and fax viewer as the default, though, as I can just double click on the picture and there're usually no issues with it. Otherwise, a right click should do the trick.

Ummm... I think a lot of people, me included love Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it's so blazingly fast that I don't even complain about it. Nero's viewer is so slow, that's why I never use it.
