Change Fax Preview To Microsoft Picture - Fax Viewer
Jul 6, 2005
I use Microsoft Fax from the Microsft Windows XP Home Edition. On my account the fax preview uses the Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer. I have added another user account to XP. When they use the Microsoft Fax, the preview uses Kodak software and I not seeing the way to change it to the Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer like it is on my account. Any help on getting the preview to use the Microsoft Picture and Fax
I want to open .jpg files using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and I have changed the file association to do that. The problem is, when I click on the "open image for editing" button, it opens Paint. I want it to open Photoshop. There appear to be no options (or any other) menus available.
i've had problems with my computer background for months -.- and it's really getting on my nerves. i'd like to find a solution to my problem.. when i right click my desktop, click properties, click desktop.. and browse and find the photo i want to set, it looks fine in the preview but when i apply it, half of it is off the screen in the corner. i tried changing it to stretch, center, tile, i re sized the image to my exact desktop size, i also tried different resolutions and still no change! please if someone can help.. i've googled this Many Many times but none of the solutions worked for me, i've also tried multiple images... I'll post some screenshots now
I've had this networked drive for photos going great for months. When I use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, I can rotate clockwise/counter-clockwise and auto save on the spot.any ideas why? The properties an ALL jpg's are not read-only, File Sharing is still set to "allow network users to change files" - are there advanced sharing properties I should look into or do you think this is just another annoying MS bug? Very frustrating.
Better way to Delete Picture and Fax Viewer without any other effects.It can be removed as follows: [Start] [Run] type regedit.exe and click [OK]Navigate to delete the Folder ShellImagePreview under Context Menu Handlers. If you want to restore the Picture and Fax Viewer :Create the ShellImagePreview folder and create the String Value (Default)Assign it the value {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}
It seems that whenever I view a picture it is saved in this folder, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". Where do I find this folder on my pc so I can delete its contents? And how do I prevent pictures from being saved in this folder?
By default, Windows XP opens all picture files (gif,jpg,...) with the included Windows Picture and Fax Viewer no matter what other picture viewers you have installed. To disable the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, unregister shimgvw.dll. This can be done from command prompt:regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll(Additional note: unregistering shimgvw.dll will also disable thumbnail view in Explorer and may cause problems changing user account and desktop background pictures. To reenable Picture and Fax viewer again type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll)
I cannot see the thumbnails of any file, and i see instead the generic icons for jpg, bmp, etc files. I associated all these files to windows picture viewer and i selected view->thumbnails, but the problem is that i cannot start this program.I tried with regsvr32 shimgvw.dll but it tells me load library("shimgvw.dll" ) failed. the system cannot find the specified file.
the default program for all of my pictures used to be Irfanview, I installed a new scanner and Adobe Photoshop was installed into my computer. now when I click on a picture it goes through the Adobe routine, can I get the Irfanview program back as my default, when I click on a picture. IM using winxp.
I get the F-secure Virus/Internet Security package from my ISP. When the WMF exploit problem with Windows software surfaced, F-secure automatically took me to their web site and directed me to an approved "workaround" until the Microsoft update was ready.The only thing I noticed when I implemented workaround was that I could no longer open a JPG file from Explorer. Previously, those files opened with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. This was troublesome, because I am in the middle of e-publishing a 300 page book for my wife that has 700 figures and I need to view the JPGs quickly and easily with the ability to zoom
I am running Windows XP Home with all the latest updates. The computer started normal today. Then within a couple of minutes it rebooted itself. When I went to open certain programs the picture and fax viewer screen comes up saying "No Preview Available." I am unable to get into my Nortons Anti-Virus, System Restore, certain parts of my control panel, etc. I keep getting the same screen as if all programs are now being viewed by the "Viewer" before they can be opened. Some of the programs will open.
Normally when you double click an image file, the default Windows Picture And Fax Viewer (I'll use WPF for short) program let's you view it. Recently, it's not working. I double click various images that showed up fine bef, but now nothing. It's like I'm Double clicking some empty space. Well, not quit empty space, as i do see the hourglass animation briefly when I do that, but previews in thumbnail and filmstrip mode are no longer there either.My pics are BMP, GIF, and JPG format. Pics i had before, as well as new ones I save using "save picture as" or via a screenshot utility canNOT be opend using WPF. The pics haven't gone corrupt
Sometimes I will highlight a range of photo files and open them into Picture and Fax viewer. I can then page through all the photos I selected. Occasionally though, I will load a range of photos into the viewer and photos from outside the range I selected get loaded into the viewer. When this has happened, I've gone back and reselected the range and tried it again and still get pictures loading from outside the range I wanted. Also, I notice on the viewer's print wizard that pictures/documents from outside my range of selected documents are sometimes presented for printing. Anyone know how that happens and how do you fix it?
I'm not sure how it happened, but all my files that I have set to open with Windows Picture and Fax viewer all display the "missing icon" icon. The one with the picture of a Windows 95 window on a white page. I figure the normal icon for pictures got deleted somehow, but I'd like to fix this without re-installing Windows if possible
I use Office 2000. I think the latest big patch windows sent out. This was the one dealing with the Metafile Vulnerablity. Whenever, i click on a microsoft word document I get Windows Fax and Image viewer. The only way i can get it to open in word is to use this route. Right click the file>click on open with<choose Microsoft Word. This is just really annoying and i believe its related to the patch
My operating system is Windows XP. Everytime I open up a file extension of .JPG it opens up in Paint Shop Pro. I don't know Paint Shop Pro yet to be able to work in it. Is there anyway I can change the file extension of JPG to open up with Microsoft Picture Manager? If so, can you please map out the steps I need to take to change the file extension?
When you try to change the picture under the User Accounts section, and this error message comes up "Automation Server Can't Create Object" the only way to fix it is to:Goto Start..Then Run..And type in: regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll..This will allow you to change the picture.
For some unknown reason, I can't change my desktop picture. When I go into the Display Settings, everything in the Desktop tab is grayed out. I can still use the customize desktop button and the position drop-box, but I can't acutally select an image.
I've tried going through the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem , but none of this helped. I had at one stage lost all the tabs, but I managed to retrieve them through the registry. It's not urgent that I get the desktop tab working, it's just really annoying.
I just sent a fax & when I tried to view it, fax console opened adobe photoshop instead of fax viewer. I installed adobe a few months ago & this is the 1st fax I have sent since then. APS is not clear & I don't like it for this function. I prefer windows FV. How do I restore the viewer to its original target (FV)?

I just logged into this forum...I was working on saving a template that I could use to start a website...but, by mistake when I went to save the image, it saved the image as my wallpaper on the desktop. My question is how do I restore the desktop to the factory Microsoft wallpaper?
When I install Microsoft software or patches, the contents are being extracted to my external hard drive, and the install is being run from there. You can imagine this is pretty slow.If I detach the drive first, Windows just picks another random data partition on my hard drive. It never looks to C:. Does anyone know how to change this? I've tried searching the web for info, but when you enter theterms "extract", "folder", and "patch", you get a lot of useless information on where to download patches and how to run them.I'm sure this is a registry setting some place, but searching for my external hard drive's letter isn't getting me anywhere.
Some of Microsoft applications(Media Player, Visual Studio, Office) and internet browser Firefox had changed their background color from white to gray. How can I fix it?

This may seem trivial, but it's bugging me. I have a windows XP and i have the windows classic theme. Every time I put a picture as my wallpaper the color around the words under my icons doesn't blend in with the picture but stays a solid color, so there's like little boxes of blue of white. How do I make those icon words blend in with the picture?
