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.)
Hi Magnus, sure I've tried that. I have a standard app for images, which works fine outside of Outlook. Outlook simply ignores it.
Same here - and in any case, that is what the "always use..." option is Outlook is supposed to do itself!
I have the same problem. I'm using MS exchange on outlook 2013, on Windows Server 2016.
The "always use this app" works everywhere else except in Outlook.
I'm experiencing the same issue - Windows 10 & Office 365.
I've tried all methods to set default as to open JPG as Photos, but I keep getting asked each time.
