How do I get Thunderbird to open .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer?

When I was using Windows Live Mail and clicked on a jpg attachment to an email, it opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird nothing happens. The Tools-Options-Attachments tab in Thunderbird shows nothing under incoming "content type" or "action". How can I define Windows Picture Viewer as the default for this?

Hi Matt, thanks for responding, but things seem to have fixed themselves now. Before when clicking on a jpg attachment at the bottom of the email, nothing occurred, but now it opens in Windows Picture Viewer.
Whether it is something I have inadvertently remedied by my fiddling I don't know, but at the moment all's well.
cheers Russell

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

When clicking a WEB address in an e-mail, instead of opening the address in Internet Explorer, how do I get Thunderbird to open it in Google Chrome?

Internet Explorer does not work right in my system, so I use Google Chrome.

Thunderbird uses the browser you have set as default. Have you set Chrome as your default browser?

How do i change the default hand tool to select tool when a document opens? also how do i get it to open in a single page view instead of 2 pages side by side

how do i change the default hand tool to the select tool when i open a document.
how do i change the view from 2 pages to a single page?

Try setting the check boxes in Edit>Preferences>General for the following:
- Make Hand tool select text & images
- Make Hand tool read articles
- Make Hand tool use mouse-wheel zooming
Adjust these as needed but does it make any difference?

I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file open OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to opens in colour in Elements 13?

Thanks for your reply - I just open the file with "Open" in the File menu - all my own jpg files open fine in colour. This is someone else's photo given to me and it does not matter how I open it "Open", "Open in raw" or "Open with ..." it always opens in B & W raw in the raw dialogue box. In Elements 9, which I also have on my PC it opens fine as jpg in colour so I can edit it there, but I am just wondering why I am getting this problem in elements 13. If I open it in any other programme such as Windows Photo viewer or Office 2010 viewer it opens fine in colour.
Not sure what you mean by "basic settings" menu.
Thanks for the reply

How do I get Thunderbird to switch to a new tab immediately like I can with Firefox?

Every time I open a new tab in Thunderbird, no matter how I do it (menu, double-click, etc) it opens the content in a new tab, but remains focused on the current tab. How do I get Thunderbird to immediately switch to a new tab when I open one? It's quite annoying to have to mouse back to the tab list and click on the new one every time. This is SO simple to configure in Firefox, but seems to be totally missing in Thunderbird. Weird.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Scott Lindley

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

It's almost certainly too late.

Are you sure you haven't upgraded Pages on your Mac to Pages 5?
Check your Applications folder and the Applications/iWork folder. You may have 2 versions on your Mac.

When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Repair permissions and see if that does it.
