(It is for Nero 8)

"Content Type"="image/jpeg"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\OpenWithList\PhotoSnapViewer.exe]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\NeroPhotoSnapViewer.Files8.jpeg]

After the latest Windows security update, Nero PhotoSnap (the previous default) can't open .jpg files. The Windows viewer can open these files (using "open with.."), but I can't figure out how to make it the default when I click on a .jpg file. I've looked in my 970 pp reference book on Windows XP and asking the Help utility. I clearly don't know how to ask the right question.

I'd appreciate any advice on:

What went wrong with Nero Photosnap, and

How to make the Windows viewer the default.

Thanks,

Ed Presson
