Hey guys, I'm on vista with adobe master collection installed.
I don't mind that when i select an image it auto opens with photoshop however this also happens if I select "preview" from the right click menu.
If I want to preview an image, I don't want to edit it.. just see it, so I want to open windows image viewer to preview images rather than photoshop.
How can I do this?

Thanks :D

The preview program is ran by executing a .DLL file. So I would image, you could create a batch script that would open the preview program with the file that you are using, and set it up to be associated with the file type it would work.

But doing all of this I have no idea.

Theres .reg files that can reset your context menu to its original state. I forget where it is a google search would probably find it.
