Re: Kodak

I just tried to post and think it was lost, but if this is a dupe. I am sorry.
The instructions were excellent here as my problem was the same. Too bad
Kodak does not have the confidence in its product to give us a choice as to
whether or not we want to make easyshare the default vierer. If they do, it
is hidden some place.

My files are still all of the TYPE EASYSHARE.JPG and that includes ones
changed by EASYSHARE. On XP Professional is their a way to change them all
back to simply JPG or whatever. I can change the name and extension, but the
TYPE does not change when I bring up the files.

Now, I hope that I can remove EASYSHARE once and for all. It is not the
worst program, but sending my pictures with ads to buy Kodak products should
be my choice and Kodak will have to give me a cut if I choose to send them
that way.

Well, any answer as to change the type will be appreciated. Thanks, George.
