eyespy Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hi all ! Hope all is well !! Somehow, I lost the proper (default) file association for openig JPEG files. Right now I'm using Kodak imaging. I used to be able to open up a folder full of pics....one click on any of the JPEG files would open up a thumbnail on the left side of the page. This is no longer the case. :( Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!regards, bill :)> BTW, I'm using Win98SE !!bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 On my xp system Bill Jpegs open with window picture and fax viewer, ME I think was the same, can't remember 98 now tho, :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Good evening eyespy, I may be wrong, but I think your problem is that you have disabled "view as webpage" for explorer. The easy way to check this, is to browse to a directory containing images, than right click on a blank section in the right hand view pane, and choose view>then select "as a web page".See if this sorts your problem.

eyespy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Best description Bill is that it looks like a small painting, I can also open jpegs using IEI can open them with just about anything, but only one setting will allow you to view "thumbnails" within the folder if "viewed as web page"...............I think :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyespy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Mark, if you open up c:/ to show your folders, you can click on View, than Folder Options. Than "file types" tab. Scroll down to where you see JPEG Image. Highlight it and the window should show the default file association !!thanks, bill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Can't find any further info there Bill can't get to file types via view, but tools , folder options , file types just tells me , JPE,JPG,JPEG and JFIF all open with Picture and fax viewer. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyespy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Thanks Boris, that's exactly what I have. Still can't view thumbnails in folder. When I double click any Pic though, it opens up in IEXPLORER !Thanks, bill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 eyespyDon't ever recall having the thumbnails showing on mine - don't want/need them anyway as Vallen Jpegger is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyespy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Yep, You could probably have them if you wanted. If you are viewing a folder as "web page" and highlight a JPEG file, it should open up as a small pic on the lefthand side of the page.regards, bill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
