Why is my Yahoo account insisting on opening all attached files I receive in the photo shop viewer?

It used to be fine but now it always jumps to the photo slide show when I go to download files that are sent to me. I can't view text or graphics. It seems that it is downloading to the wrong place in my computer. How do I fix that?

    Sounds like you just installed the photo program and it took all the image types as its own. This comes with the photo CD from most vendors. This is on your own computer. If you can identify the name of the program that has been installed, then go to Start, Control Panel and Install/uninstall programs. Then uninstall that program.

    Otherwise you can use the Windows Explorer. Click on Tools, Folder Options, then File Types. Look down to the various photo types you use (probably .jpg .tif .bmp etc) and click on Default or choose another program to show them.
