Link for download doesn’t work, pictures associated with the instructions are inaccurate. Just a click on the PhotoViewer.reg and just another click on a picture to tell windows to use Photo Viewer as default! Couldn’t be easier. Thank you soooooooo much. I hope there is also regristry to restore photo viewer win 10 without create a. By default, XP uses Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to preview pictures. Getting accustomed to this takes some time; however, once you are, it is hard to go back. Several programs, when installed, try to take over the role of picture preview.
Heya
I run a Celron 2.8 with 1 Gb ram sitting on an Intel 865Perl m/b.
Window XP Pro Sp1 + sundry patches/fixes - not yet SP2.
I use several Graphic manipulation programs.I have set the default program to open various picture formats with the program I use to manipulate them .However Win XP picture/fax viewer still opens as the default program when I double click on the image.
Is there any way of disabling this ?
Regards
~Sam~

Disable Picture and Fax Viewer
Start/Run/CMD/regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
If you disabled the fax/picture viewer by using regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll, then changing user icons fail to work: You need to re-load the dll and it will work. Have only tried this w/ XP Pro. Reload by typing in regsvr32 shimgvw.dll.

Windows Picture And Fax Viewer Download
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 workaround was available at:
http://support.fsecure.com/enu/home/wmf_download.shtml
The only thing I noticed when I implemented the 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, etc.
Yesterday, I implemented the Microsoft update for the WMF problem. Unfortunately, I still cannot open a JPG with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
I have tried contacting Microsoft help, F-secure Help and my ISP. No success. Can someone please help me restore the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer functionality?
Thank you very much.
