Cannot open JPG file attachment with MSPAINT

... Make sure that your registry has the following keys: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\mspaint.exe\shell\o pen] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\mspaint.exe\shell\o pen\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00 ,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\ 00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00 ,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,\ 73,00,70,00,61,00,69,00,6e,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78 ,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,22,\ 00,25,00,31,00,22,00,00,00 If the key is missing, and I believe it is by default, that will cause the error. If you like, you can paste the above lines into Notepad, save as REG file (e.g. MSPAINT.REG) and then double click the reg file to apply. If you look via regedit, the above hex data should appear as "%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1" -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm Wow. That was it Mike. I'm impressed. Kudos and many thanks. -- Michael T. |

Cannot open JPG file attachment with MSPAINT
Some one else had the same problem a few months ago. It took a while
then to track down the problem. It's something peculiar to Paint and the way it does the registry. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Michael T." wrote in message news:xgzXg.38365$nm1.21882@fed1read04...
