How do I get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to be the application used to view pics, images? It doesn't even show up in the list of "other applications".

Image files(jeg, gif, etc) are assocaited with the picture and fax viewer in the files options but firefox doesn't see the app, even inthe open with other list

The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions. 
You need to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows. 
Then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog. 
You can look at an alternative program for viewing images:

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Why does my pdf file open in 'windows picture and fax viewer'?

Anytime someone sends me a pdf file, when I click 'open', it automatically opens up my 'windows picture and fax viewer' and of course, I get nothing. So, in order to read a pdf file, I must first save it, then go into my Adobe Reader, and open it from there. Can anyone tell me how to change that? It's only happened since I upgraded Adobe Reader to 8.0. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Right click the pdf file and click on Properties. In the General tab click the Change button and associate the Adobe Reader 8 program to the pdf file. Click Ok, then Apply.
I assume the connection to this forum is that the pdf file is a Lighroom generated slideshow.

I think the last update did not work, and now I cannot open jpeg attachments with windows picture and fax viewer, it is not listed in the tools/options drop dow

I don't believe the last Thunderbird update worked, there was a very fast error message. But since then I cannot open jpeg attachments in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. If I go to Tools, then options, the jpeg line is grayed out, and the drop down menu does not show Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The windows picture and fax viewer still works on my computer, but not for opening attachments.

I did as you said - deleted the entry for jpeg, but when I tried to open one there is not an option for Picture and Fax Viewer in the drop down, and it can't be found by browsing. It's just not there anywhere even though I can see pics in it except in email attachments.

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored?

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored? I cannot seem to get it to give me that option. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks so much!

If the phone has already been set up, you will need to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to be able to go through the setup again. This time use Restore from Backup.
This will walk you through the setup screens:

Restore is like wiping hard drive of the computer, to get anything back in that case is only possible if you have backup. If you did create backup, follow instructions here to restore from it.

How do I get windows pictures to sync albums to the iPad when it says no new pictures detected?

How do I get windows pictures to sync to ipad2 when it tells me no new pictures are detected? I have put all my pictures into albums on windows & have some new pictures on it.

All I can suggest is to check that the photo directory in itunes is pointed to the correct place. Also I've had issues where if there is a corrupt photo in my photo directory it will fail, not loading any other new photos as well.

- If you backed up the iPod after taking the photos then restoring from backup will recover the photos. To restore from backup see the restoring topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore via iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods...".
- Otherwise if the photos ore not on the computer or iPod they are gone uless you can get them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Windows Picture.. is NOT one of the Applications "choices" under Options/Applications. Why not?

Then anything you had on the phone is gone.
Settings>General>Resets>Erase All Content and Settings.
Set it up as a new device again.

I only wanted to restore my settings but i ended up restoring everything (i.e. all data got deleted), how can i get my pictures and books back?

How can i return my phone back to what it was 10 minutes ago and no i haven't backed up my phone since last year so i do a restore from what i have in my computer, this will only return my phone back to what it was a year ago. please help.

If you haven't backed the device up in a year, and you did not copy the pictures and other data off before restoring it, then your stuff is gone.
It is important that you back up your data, just like with your computer, regular backups are vital for recovering data when things happen.

How do I get my pictures and music back?

I updated my phone today to get the newest software. My music got deleted but my pictures where there. I did the restore thinking it would take me back to before and it took me back to having a new phone. I lost all music and all pictures.
