Thanks for your reply, but it's not what I meant. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by ShawnZ on 08-17-2006 at 12:56 PM HKCR\.BMP\shell\edit RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by Jesus on 08-17-2006 at 01:05 PM
that key did not exist in the first place so I tried creating it. No luck though. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by markee on 08-17-2006 at 01:11 PM If you are using PSP X the go File > Preferences > File Format Associations and click the ones you want to be opened with PSP. I'm quite sure this should do what you want (sorry if I'm wrong). If you aren't using this version I would think that you have to follow something simular anyway. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by Jesus on 08-17-2006 at 01:20 PM
I am indeed using PSP X, but the File Format Associations dialog only lets me set PSP as the default app for opening images, not editing them. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by ShawnZ on 08-17-2006 at 01:23 PM in the .BMP key there is a value named "Default", which means it references that under HKCR, so check there. For example, mine Default reads Paint.Picture RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by Jesus on 08-17-2006 at 01:46 PM
Just to check if it was a setting in the HKCR\.bmp key which caused this, I backed it up and deleted it. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by markee on 08-17-2006 at 01:47 PM Have a look at this page. It looks to have exactly what you are after. The steps you want are about 2/3 down the page. (thank god for google ) RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by Jesus on 08-17-2006 at 02:27 PM
I tried that before and all it did was create a second "Edit" entry in the right-click menu. RE: Default image editor doesn't change for bmp by ShawnZ on 08-17-2006 at 02:40 PM
