    Resolved [RESOLVED] .jpeg files - defaulting to MS Photdraw

    All my .jpeg files (whether on my desktop or accessed from an external drive) are defaulting to a Nero Program and "opening with" MS Photodraw. How do I change that setting for my files? I thought that previously these files were being opened either in Windows Media Player or Quick Time.

    Also, when I try to export my .jpeg files (even before the above .jpeg problem occurred)to insert into a website, the whole c:\ drive string is exported and I get an error message that the file isn't a "true" .jpeg file.


    My OS is WIN xp and MS Office is installed on my computer

    Please explain "exporting a file into a website." Are you setting up a web page or just uploading? What's the page that's giving you trouble?

    My vet has a website and encourages pics of your animals (my cats). When I try to upload my .jpeg files, the string uploads instead of the actual .jpeg file. This also happened when I tried to upload a .jpeg file at the Ellen Degeneres website. However, when I upload my pics to Snapfish, they upload fine.

    My other issue is that when I view my .jpeg files (all my pics!), they used to view just my Nero program on them, now it's Nero with MS Photodraw on top. I took a print screen of some of them but I don't know if I'm able to attach them to this post. Thank you
