QuickTime as Default Picture Viewer

I am working on an HP PC using Windows Vista. I recently downloaded the new iTunes + Quicktime software. I mistakenly allowed Quicktime to be my default picture viewer/everything. I don't want that. What is the Windows version and how can I get that back.

On a Windows computer you want to open the QT control panel and chose what file types you want QT to handle

Changing default picture viewer via GPO without changing image type and icon (Windows 7)

Hello,
I am trying to change the default picture viewer for some file extensions (.bmp, .jpeg, .png and .tiff). Actually Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewer and we need to replace it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I managed to do that change via GPO using the 'open with' preference under User Configuration\ Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. So now the files are opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager (office 2010). The problem is that the image
type became 'OIS.EXE' for all the specified file extensions. Moreover the icon is now the same (Microsoft Office 2010).
When I change manually the associated program for a file extension, the icon change but no the image type... this is different using GPO.
Is there a solution in order to change the default program but keeping the image type and associated icon ?
I tried to do that modification using the 'new file type' preference under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. I specified the 'open' action for OIS.exe, selected file extension BMP with associated class 'Bitmap Image'.
It solves the problem for image type, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens the files ... but I have to specify the icon file path and icon index and I don't know where I can find the default icons for the file extensions ...
What is the best solution ? Am I right ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,
thank you very much for your answers.
For the rollback, I will reimport the original/default keys for all the image types, this should be ok.
Here are the problems I have trying to pu Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer (I just want .bmp, .jpg ... files to be opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager by default).
1 Using new file type under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\folder options. : I define a new file type (BMP for example), associated class Bitmap Image, I configure the icon (imageres.dll,65) and an open action where OIS.EXE
is the application used to perform the action.
Result : Icon is correct, file type is correct, image files are opened with OIS.EXE (correct) ... BUT now Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in open or open with menu
2 Using new open with under User configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options : new open with preference, action (update or replace same result), file extension BMP, associated program (path to OIS.EXE), i check set as default.
Result : Office 2010 opens image files (correct) but icon is Office 2010 one and the file type is now 'OIS.EXE' for all image file extensions I have specified ... so it won't be possible to sort the file by image type if I select that method...
3 Using ftype : OIS.EXE doesn't open the file when I double click on it but Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in the open or open with list ...
I am a bit lost ... what is the best method to put Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer, keeping the image type (Bitmap image, JPEG image etc) and without having Microsoft Office 2010 twice in the open or open with list ??
Last question : by default an image file is opened and previewed with Windows Photo viewer and edited with Paint. I would like just to open images with Office 2010 but keep Windows Photo viewer for preview and Paint for edit ... Is it possible ??
Thank you in advance for any help and support !!

Default picture viewer program

Hi people,
I´ve tried to reset my default picture viewer program from Preview to XEE, I can do that in "show info", with the "open with/ change all" button.
However, next time I reboot it will be back to the "preview" default.
Any ideas?
Does Snow Leopard´s preview "next" and "previous" arrows function?
I just want to open up a picture in any folder and go next and previous with the arrows........I´m still on Leopard now.
Any help is appreciated!
Not a Clue.

Hang on,
I might be on to something here...........
I disabled the File Vault, changed the settings once again (pics with XEE, .doc documents with pages), rebooted a few times for test purposes, and SUCCES!!
Getting more confident I enabled the File Vault again and it still seems to remember XEE & Pages as my preferences!
For now..........
Weird! I hope I don´t have to disable the file vault every time I want to change an "open with" preference.
Hope this helps for others.........perhaps.
Cheers,
Not a Clue

Manual scroll in the default picture viewer?

On the picture viewer that came with my Droid X I can set it to slideshow by pressing the middle button, but is there anyway to scroll through the pictures manually? I would think that there would be left and right keys to go back and forth.
If not, can anyone recommend a better picture viewer that does what I want? It seems strange that the picture viwer can't go back and forth manually. And one of the buttons (the left one) just turns the camera on, as if there weren't already enough ways to launch the camera. The button on the right seems kinda superfluous too - those two buttons should be left and right arrows!
Thanks

You can scroll left to right to go through the pictures. Here are the steps for viewing your pictures. HTH!
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Gallery.Touch a gallery.
Touch the picture / video to view.
You will then slide your screen left to right to browse the pictures.

Windows picture viewer fails Acrobat TIF to PDF conversion

Hi. I have some users running Acrobat Pro 9 in batch mode to convert TIF to PDF and run OCRing tasks. Some multi-page TIFs with large color pictures do not convert correctly, and some pieces are missing. We think that Acrobat uses the default picture viewer as the imaging enging or whatever. We have tried opening the images that fail to convert, using the Windows picture viewer, and the viewer fails to display all of the color image - so this does not appear to be an Acrobat problem, but a viewer problem.
Is this a known problem; is there a workaround? Otherwise can someone recommend an alternate image/TIF viewer that will work better for this process?
THANKS!

Have you tried changing the program that opens tif files by default to something else (like Photoshop or Paint) and rebooting?

"Edit menu in Photoshop" opens up QuickTime picture viewer

As the subject line suggests, when I right-click a menu and select "Edit menu in Photoshop" from the pulldown, it opens up QuickTime picture viewer. Somehow, Encore or this function in Encore has gotten reassociated with QuickTime. Any idea how to get it going to Photoshop again instead? Or, any idea of a work-around to open up the menu in Photoshop manually? (Where can I access the menu psd files?)

You need to associate psd files with Photoshop.
Go to a psd file and right click on it and open with..
Set it to Always open with this program.

Quicktime + Picture Viewer?

I recently updated iTunes, and it appears Picture Viewer has been installed on my PC. Needless to say, I am not happy. I cannot remove it via Programs and Features, and I did not agree for it to be installed. I'd like this useless 'Picture Viewer' removed, pronto. Does anyone know how?
<Edited by Host>

Thanks Kirk. I am aware of QuickTime and Picture Viewer's functionality. However, Windows 7 comes with such utilities, so QuickTime and Picture Viewer are therefore redundant, unnecessary software on my machine, save for the fact that I am forced to use iTunes so my iPhone and iPod will function. I am also a photographer, so I use much more advanced software to view and edit images.
Following my most recent iTunes (and QuickTime) update, Picture Viewer showed up in my Start menu as a new program. If it wasn't there before, why would I need it now? I am not currently at my PC to check any help files, but the usual, foolproof method of uninstalling a program in Windows 7 (via Programs and Features) does not work for Picture Viewer. It is not listed as a program or feature and therefore cannot be removed. After some research, I have found that the only way to remove Picture Viewer is to completely uninstall iTunes and QuickTime, then reinstall iTunes.

Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

Hi,
My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
Thanks
Trang

If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.
=============
If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer. However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.

Accessing the Quicktime 7.7.5. installer to re-install picture viewer

Hi everyone,
Up until this morning, I have been resisting the upgrade to Quick Time 7.7.5., because it caused my picture viewer to disappear. Well, it did that again this morning, and I looked up ho to get the picture viewer back. All it says is to use the custom feature in the installer, but there is no access to do that, and I cannot find an installer in the program files anywhere. I am running Windows 7 home premium, so it takes time to fiure out where all the little thins are at. Can anyone give me any better information than the above? Thank you. By the way, I tried contacting support, and since Quick Time is not listed, that is nothing more than a dead end. Thanks again.

Well, it's idiotic that I've had to go to this much trouble, but I have obtained the item Apple doesn't seem to want anyone to get a hold of. This is thanks in part to Google's cache, as I was able to view a now-expired thread off some U.K. newsgroup and use the direct link to an Akamai server which is still good 10 months later. So, for those of you in need, you have the option of using that:
http://a1540.g.akamai.net/7/1540/52/20060104/qtinstall.info.apple.com/snape/us/O SX/QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg
or you can just download the same file I am now hosting (since that Akamai link is bound to go bye-bye at some point...)

Did apple do away with Picture Viewer?

I just updated the latest QuickTime - and Picture Viewer is gone. So, I deleted QuickTime and downloaded it as new - thinking that would help (I thought maybe something went wrong with the update).
Nope - still no Picture Viewer.
This is very disappointing as the QuickTime Picture Viewer was FAR superior than what comes on my PC.
Am I the only one with this problem? And, if I am, what can I do to correct it?

QuickTime for Java and QuickTime PictureViewer are no longer installed by default. They are removed if you have a previous version of QuickTime on your PC. If you still need these legacy features, you can add them back using the new custom setup option in the installer.

Default image viewer

how do i make fireworks my default image viewer?

It's probably better to remove the file type association in
QuickTime
(or QuickTime Pro(?)).
Try:
1 - start QuickTime
2 - Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences >
File Types > expand
Images option in the tree structure > remove the tick next
to images as
you wish.
It seems an old version of QT?

Pro Picture Viewer Problems

I do not want to use Picture viewer to view .jpg, .tiff and any other picture type of file. Installation of Pro has automatically associated all these file types with Picture Viewer and Quicktime Control Panel does not let me uncheck the box creating the association. How do I fix this, short of uninstalling the whole program and demanding a refund?

You are probably using the compiler options to compile the code as a C++ module causing the name mangling for the external routines.
You need to tell the VC++ compiler to generate strictly C code (not C++ mangled code).
How would you be able to run the SELECT queries in your program without first establishing a connection?
Your program compiles fine for me. But when you run without a connection established, you would get ORA-01012: not logged on
But then, there is no error handling in the code either.

Picture Viewer Crashes

Hello,
Here is the problem I've been having, I installed Quicktime, everything worked fine and I have Quicktime Picture Viewer as my default viewer (I miss my mac). I was able to use it for some time, then when it starts to open the window which asks me to upgrade to Quicktime pro it crashes. I've tried reinstalls and updates but to no avail. Then I reformatted my Hard Drive, and the same issue is happening. Any ideas?

Thanks, this got me to the answer. Specifically, checking for full permissions under my user name.
I am not sure if it was changing the permissions for QuickTime.qts, that did the trick, Because at the same time I also right-clicked on PictureViewer.exe, went to Properties and along with changing the permissions under the Security tab, I went to the Compatability tab and under Priviledge Level, I clicked on "Run this program as an administrator". The only downside is I now get that annoying pop-up whenever I open the program saying "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer", but that is a minor inconvenience.
Thanks again for you help!
