ok when i installed ps 6 i set all the graphic file types to open ps when they are opened...
if i get an e-mailed .jpg from a friend and i download it, open it, up comes ps instead of just and explorer window
if i save a .bmp from a game or from a web site, same thing double cliick and photoshop not mspaint
i screwed this up and now my wife wants to kill me she hates waiting for ps to open
how do i change them or reset them to factory

go to windows explorer, Tools/file options/file types and scroll down till you find BMP File, then highlight it. next, click change then scroll down in that new window till you find MS Paint, highlight it and hit ok.  | |

bob couldn't find anything, but that may be my lack of pc skills. went to (using explorer) C:/WINDOWS/TOOLS and the only thing there was a folder called "MESSAGE" inside that 4 files nothing like what you discribed
Just in case i went to C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop 6.0
and no "Tool" folders there. I didn't know enough about the guts of PS to just go searching through each folder...
I did find, under the "Start" button in "Settings", "folder options"
but .jpg is set for open by "IEXPLORE", but it doesn't
also i could find a "BMP" for bitmaps, or anything that looked like it would be that

James, first things first; put me in your will 
And second...here's a solution for windows Win2k/XP.
Sadly enough you didn't mention which operating system you're using [confused]
In win95/98/me option "open with" is not visible in the contect menu, but if you SHIFT + right click on a BMP file, it should be available however. From there on it shouldn't be much different compared to Win2k/XP
Good luck!

Gaus... excellent response/help there! [righton]. I really commend you for
a) the knowledge

b) the time that you take to assist those in need!

Let's hope that James sorts this one out.

Yep G-Man is correct! I did this when I installed pshop for the first time. Simple fix, if you are using Windows. Windows explorer, right click on the file, open with, pick program and all is well. ( with your computer and the wife )

Hi James!
Nice to see that you got your "situation" resolved! 
For what it's worth, IE opens my common jpg and gif files... it's really your preference. | |
