Whenever I am using Windows Explorer, and I go to "My Pictures" and double
click on a picture, I want to change the default from executing "Paint Shop
Pro" to execute the "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". How do I do that???
Thanks for any help,
"Tom"

Go into the options of "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" and have it be associated to all
the file types you want to default to the Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

"I'm getting copies any time I work with individual images. If I delete the
copied images I get more copies to replace them. My folders are fat with
copies. What do I do? I can't find any way to turn off that function.

You'll have to give more info. Yes, we understand 'copies' but what
software are you using?
And this isn't meant condescending, but some users drag a mouse when
they click and this makes copies. If your hand slides just a tiny when
you double click, XP thinks its a drag and drop and thus a copy. You
get 'copy of xxxxx.jpg' all the time.

Every time I work with an image the program makes a copy. When I try to
delete the copies I get another copy. My folders are fat with copies. How do
I fix this problem?
Several years ago I did turn on the 'make copies' feature in Word but turned
it off. I have 2 My Pictures on the computer - the 2nd was made after a back
door virus was cleaned out of the computer several years ago. I don't use the
original My Phictures and place the images in the newer My Pictures.
