Gibletpie Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I HATE Image Preview, and this is the only way I've found to get rid of it.Go to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSID{e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}shellexand delete the subkey:MayChangeDefaultMenuReboot. Images will now open in your default viewer by double-clicking. You can still right-click and select PREVIEW if you want to open it in Image Preview.If you want to get rid of the PREVIEW menu option entirely, you can go toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSID{e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}InProcServer32and for the (Default) Value, delete the data so it is empty, "".Reboot. No more "Preview" option on right-click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibletpie Posted September 3, 2001 Author Share Posted September 3, 2001 Exactly! Now if I could just get CD Architect to see my burner under XP, I'd be happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 Why not just change the file association?????? [/quote:a69066f6e2]That's a pain to do one-by-one, there's so many image format types.This reg fix is done once and is very simple. I could even make a reg file to make the changes on one click.
