Macromedia Fireworks

Fireworks *


Hello,

 Is there a fix in Fireworks that would fix my problem of Fireworks being
started as the default image preview program. I hate to start Fireworks
everytime I want to preview a picture. Thanks.

Quick and dirty if you're using a Windows operating system:
- right-click on an image
- Open With > Choose Program
- [Windows Picture and Fax Viewer|Your choice of program]
- [X] Always use the selected program to open this kind of file

Repeat for (jpg, gif, tiff, bmp) and maybe a couple of others.

You could also use regedit and go through and change things, or I think
that there may be a registry patch somewhere if you search Adobe's
support pages.

Hey Joe, Thanks for the reply. There used be a fix for this in Fireworks 2004 but haven't found for the 8. I guess I will do the quick and dirty one. ;)
