Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:36 amIt is all downloaded pictures- not photos which are sent in the body of the email (like from a friends camera), or those which I can save as attachments, which I can then open.
Weird, huh?

Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 5:10 amgo to Start--> Settings-->Control Panel-->FolderOptions click the tab File Types
Scroll down to JPG and highlight it. Look in the details box and see what it opens with.
If it says Outlook Express, then that has to be changed to a picture viewer. I think you can select Internet Explorer and use that.
You could go to and install Picaso 2 a freebee--better than Photoshop Elements. Installing that program should reset your default file options back to more usuable settings.

Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2005 5:33 amWindows picture and fax viewer is the default, no need to change it.
Here's a link to some Outlook Express settings that should solve the problem.
Notice in that link, the Outlook Express security settings have checked under
Download Images
Block images and other external comtent in HTML format
Uncheck that box, close out of Outlook and open it back up, I should work as you want
