Right click a .jpg .gif .png and each other type of image and go to Properties. For "Opens With" click Change, and pick Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. :p Should work tbh

Thanks :)

Mines gtta be quicktime, its a complete tosspiece, no matter how many times you tell it not to it insists on running on startup... it doesnt have an option in the program to stop it from loading so you have to use other ways... and then even those don't work if you load a webpage and it uses it :@
1) disassociate quicktime as the standard player if you have set it so (you don't need to disassociate the quicktime file extension though)
2) remove the startup entries for quicktime in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

never ever bothered me since...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My most annoying program would actually be the Windows Update Notification thingie which pops up after you've updated asking you to restart the PC....

Highly annoying when you can't restart yet because you're still working with stuff. And that process can't be killed; it will simply return...

Now, to get rid of it:
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations

Atm? Mines would have to be texvc - it's what makes maths work on wikipedia.

It works when I'm testing it, then when I need to use it for whatever reason it bombs out :(.

Apart from that, I mainly use alternatives (Quicktime Alternative, etc) so they don't annoy me that much :)

There's an easier way. May not be that fancy, but.. click the notification and drag the new window down beyond the lower right corner your desktop so it's invisible. Problem solved. ;)
No, I didn't search before
posting. Don't bother asking.
