Outlook keeps asking me how to open jpg files
- Feb 05, 2019
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.)
Hi Roman!
Have You tried the following?
Open Control Panel and select Set your default Programs
Click "Choose default applications by file type"
Scroll to jpg and set the program you want to use
Hi Magnus, sure I've tried that. I have a standard app for images, which works fine outside of Outlook. Outlook simply ignores it.
