Anyone got a solution??

I was trying to open up some of my pictures in ' Paint brush' I succeeded in this however, everytime i now try to open any other photos they all open up automatically in Paint application!!!!
How the hell do i get it back to normal before the computer goes out of the window

What application do you want them to open in?
If it is a 3rd party app, go to preferences or options and look for something that says file associations, and check the one you want associated with that prog.

Highlight but don't open a picture, right click then select "Open With" then "Choose Program", select the application you'd like to normally open it with and tick the "Always use....." then OK.

yahoo thanks lads fixed it. every man to his trade ay.

Tell me all this has was caused by me trying to attach a photo onto the forum.

assuming you have MS paint, open your picture with this. Then click the image tab at the top, then the second option 'stretch/skew', change both dimensions to lower percentages (i use 15 - 25 % normally) then save as and upload.

Get M$'s Powertoy for XP, Image Resizer

Right hand side, 5th from bottom.

Download and install that. Then you can right click on a picture and resize to some common sizes or custom size.

Nice

thanks done it, and attached to the forum
