I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 a few months ago; now I've noticed that the "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" is being used when I want to access/edit/email my photos. Previous to this install, I used the HP Digital Imaging or the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and it worked fine, but now I can't keep this MS Picture Editor from handling all photos; I went to Tools>File Types, and then unchecked every box, but still, when I go to Start>Photos, or to C:Document and Settings\Photos and double click an uploaded image, this crazy MS Office Picture Manager brings them up; the pics are tiny and cannot be resized and/or edited etc. Does anyone know how to disable this MS Office Picture Manager? It is found at Start>Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Tools\Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried changing the default program that displays pictures?
1. Open My Computer then navigate to the folder where your pictures are. 2. Right-click on any picture then click Properties on the menu that comes up. 3. On the window that appears, find "Opens with:" then click Change... 4. Another window will appear. Click on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer then click OK. 5. Click OK on the Properties window This would make all of your JPEG pictures show up on the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. If another picture shows up in the Microsoft Office Picture Viewer, do steps 2-5 on the picture. Do the pictures now show up in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? Feel free to post if you do not understand my instructions.

All right, excellent, thank you Lloyd T. That works....
What was interesting was that at the Properties>Change, when Change was clicked on, the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was already selected, but the photo was opening in Ofs Picture Manager; when I clicked OK and then Apply, it worked. Appreciate your help. Jackiemarie

Glad to help!
 Tell me if Office Picture Manager starts to override your settings again.
