Outlook keeps asking me how to open jpg files
Step 1:
Open Regedit and navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\OpenWithList
You will have a (Default) key, then multiple keys a-... , and finally an MRUList key.
Step 2:
Find the key Microsoft.Windows.Photos_xxx and note the name of key.
Step 3:
Modify the MRUList value and simply enter the key name you noted in step 2. (In my example it is c but isn't always the case.)

Has anyone gotten any OTHER photo application to work as a default without being asked? I use LviewPro - which is always listed as the default app, but it STILL asks the question (and the checkbox is ignored), and I have played around with ALL the registry suggestions here and it still makes no difference - it always asks.....
Tom_Whitetry the following: go to the "default apps" and below click on "Reset". Then change your Photo viewer back to Irfan.
Roman Frantsev That seemed like a good idea but it didn't work. It still asks me every time if I want to use Irtfanview as the default viewer. The check mark is not recognized.
