Windows Image Edit Folder Option

[james_IT]

Hi Guys

Just a quick question. I lost MS Paint. When i got it back the Edit option (in the menu when right clicking on an image file) would not work. It says its not associated with a program. Does anyone know how to change it back? It says something about folder options control panel but i cant see what it means in the folder options in control panel.

thanks

I think you should de-install MS Paint first and then reinstall it.
In XP , go to >settings > software > add/delete windows parts> desk accessoiries> details > desk accessoiries> details> and de-install Paint.

Restart computer and install it again thru the same procedure.

Rak suggestion should work but an easier way is to either hold down shift and right click on the file and select open with.. then select MS paint (tick the always open with if you want to).

Or you can go into explorer > tools > folder options > file types select the file type of the image file click change > select from list.
