.jpg .gif .bmp file associations gone, upgrade from Office XP to 2
I am upgrading from Office XP to Office 2003. After the upgrade, many users
no longer have file associations for .jpg, .gif and .bmp. Apparently "Photo Editor" has been deleted and replaced by "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". The problem is that Picture Manager is not taking over the file associations. I know I could add the registry keys to the transform that would create the association. The problem with this is that Photoshop users want .jpg files to open in Photoshop. I am looking for a solution where these file types will be associated with Picture Manager if they were previously associated with Photo Editor but not if they were associated with another application. |

Hello,
Thank you for posting. From your post, my understanding of this issue is: After upgrading Office XP to Office 2003, image file associations are no longer configured as you like. You would like image files other than .jpg to be associated with MS Office Picture Manager, and to have .jpg files associated with Photoshop. If this is not correct, please feel free to let me know. In order to assiociate image files with MS Office Picture Manager, you can change these settings in the Picture Manager (by default Start Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office Picture Manager). When the Picture Manager is opened for the first time, you should be prompted with a file association dialog box where you can adjust these settings. If you are not, you can open this dialog from the tools menu (tools File Types). In this dialog, you can associate image files with the picture manager. To ensure that .jpg files are opened with Adobe Photoshop, you can shift + right click a file in Windows Explorer, select 'Open with' and 'Choose Program'. In the Open With dialog box, select Photoshop and tick the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' option. Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else. Hope this helps!

Your understanding is not correct. After the upgrade, .jpg .gif .bmp file
associations gone. Since Photo Editor from Office XP is being upgraded to Picture Manager from Office 2003, these associations should automatically be re-associated to Picture Manager. I am deploying to over 600 users and do not want to manually create the associations for every user. How do you configure the upgrade install to correctly and automatically move the file association of .jpg, .gif and .bmp from Photo Editor to Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Hello,
Thank you for your prompt response, and I apologize for my delayed response due to the weekend. I also apologize that I did not fully understand your original concerns and provide a more thorough answer. I have performed further research to more thoroughly answer your question. When Office 2000 or Office XP is upgraded to Office System 2003, the graphic file extensions associated with Microsoft Photo Editor are removed even if the extensions have been re-associated with a different graphics file handler. Although Office 2003 installs the Microsoft Office Picture Manager, it does not automatically associate the graphics file extensions during the installation. Picture Manager offers the user a choice during the first run by the user. Unfortunately, this is by design. It is a limitation in Windows installer because it does not know the file association to keep it if it is associated to something else. There are several options to manage this scenario. Please choose the option that best applies to your needs. Option 1: You can re-install Photo Editor on all the systems. This is essentially rolling out an office installation through current methods and only installing the Photo Editor component. To re-install Photo Editor please follow the instructions in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817095 Option 2: You can include the necessary registry settings in your MST by adding the keys in CIW to associate the graphics files with the appropriate applications. I have generated a sample script for you below. You should generate your own script following these steps: 1. On a system that is configured with appropriate file associations, export the following registry keys to file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExt s\.bmp HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExt s\.gif HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExt s\.jpe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExt s\.jpeg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExt s\.jpg * you can of course add the keys for any other image files you want to associate as well ** to export the keys, open regedit, browse to the key, right click and choose export 2. Copy the resultant .reg file information into one .reg file, including the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" line only once at the top. 3. In CIW, on screen 12 of 24, Import the .reg file created in step #2. Here is a sample file that I created from my system: ++++++//BEGIN FILE CUT BELOW LINE\\++++++++++++ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.bmp] "Application"="ois.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.bmp\OpenWithList] "a"="mspaint.exe" "MRUList"="dcba" "b"="iexplore.exe" "c"="shimgvw.dll" "d"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.bmp\OpenWithProgids] "Paint.Picture"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.jpg] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.jpg\OpenWithList] "a"="shimgvw.dll" "MRUList"="ebadc" "b"="mspaint.exe" "c"="iexplore.exe" "d"="msnmsgr.exe" "e"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.jpg\OpenWithProgids] "jpegfile"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.gif] "Application"="ois.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.gif\OpenWithList] "a"="shimgvw.dll" "MRUList"="ebadc" "b"="mspaint.exe" "c"="iexplore.exe" "d"="msnmsgr.exe" "e"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.gif\OpenWithProgids] "giffile"=hex(0): ++++++++++//END FILE CUT ABOVE LINE\\++++++++++++++++ Option 3: If you have already rolled out the installation and would rather not re-install office, you can publish a .bat file or implement it as a login script to call the .reg file created above. The .bat file should include a line to call the .reg with this syntax: REGEDIT /S "\\servername\Sharename\name.reg" Hope this helps!

Hi F.,
Did you get the same result if you do a test machine with a manual install? Graphics programs have a reputation for being 'grabby' (taking over the associations on install). There isn't a built in provision in the Custom Installation Wizard screens for Office 2003 if the 'open with' settings aren't migrating that I recall. There also wasn't one for MS Office PhotoEditor. Photo Editor tended to takeover the associations, where MS Office Picture Manager tends to leave them off by default. As you mentioned in your original post you can add the registry entries, and you could probably use the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts list and set the MRU value to OIS (the Office Picture Manager) or to Photoshop as the first entry for each file type and use either different MST files or different OPS files based on the user having or not having Photoshop, or save the previous reg key and replace the entries in the 'openwithlist' (edit replace in the reg file) that read 'photoed.exe' with 'ois.exe' although you may also have to update the HKEY_Classes_Root associations reg entries, or you may want to consider having a .reg key that Photoshop folks can use to 'reset' their graphics associations after the install. ======== "fbartrom" wrote in message ...

"Dana Brash [MSFT]" wrote: Hello, Thank you for posting. From your post, my understanding of this issue is: After upgrading Office XP to Office 2003, image file associations are no longer configured as you like. You would like image files other than .jpg to be associated with MS Office Picture Manager, and to have .jpg files associated with Photoshop. If this is not correct, please feel free to let me know. In order to assiociate image files with MS Office Picture Manager, you can change these settings in the Picture Manager (by default Start Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office Picture Manager). When the Picture Manager is opened for the first time, you should be prompted with a file association dialog box where you can adjust these settings. If you are not, you can open this dialog from the tools menu (tools File Types). In this dialog, you can associate image files with the picture manager. To ensure that .jpg files are opened with Adobe Photoshop, you can shift + right click a file in Windows Explorer, select 'Open with' and 'Choose Program'. In the Open With dialog box, select Photoshop and tick the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' option. Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else. Hope this helps!

After the upgrade, many users no longer have file associations for .jpg, .gif and .bmp. Apparently "Photo Editor" has been deleted and replaced by "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". The problem is that Picture Manager is not taking over the file associations. I know I could add the registry keys to the transform that would create the association.

I also apologize that I did not fully understand your original concerns and provide a more thorough answer. I have performed further research to more thoroughly answer your question. When Office 2000 or Office XP is upgraded to Office System 2003, the graphic file extensions associated with Microsoft Photo Editor are removed even if the extensions have been re-associated with a different graphics file handler. Although Office 2003 installs the Microsoft Office Picture Manager, it does not automatically associate the graphics file extensions during the installation. Picture Manager offers the user a choice during the first run by the user. Unfortunately, this is by design. It is a limitation in Windows installer because it does not know the file association to keep it if it is associated to something else. There are several options to manage this scenario. Please choose the option that best applies to your needs. Option 1: You can re-install Photo Editor on all the systems. This is essentially rolling out an office installation through current methods and only installing the Photo Editor component. To re-install Photo Editor please follow the instructions in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817095 Option 2: You can include the necessary registry settings in your MST by adding the keys in CIW to associate the graphics files with the appropriate applications. I have generated a sample script for you below. You should generate your own script following these steps: 1. On a system that is configured with appropriate file associations, export the following registry keys to file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.bmp HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.gif HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpeg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpg * you can of course add the keys for any other image files you want to associate as well ** to export the keys, open regedit, browse to the key, right click and choose export 2. Copy the resultant .reg file information into one .reg file, including the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" line only once at the top. 3. In CIW, on screen 12 of 24, Import the .reg file created in step #2.

Hi,
Thanks for your response, and I'm sorry to hear that the steps I provided did not resolve the issue for you. I look forward to hearing how things go with Bob's suggested addition.

I am taking the approach to add the registry keys to the transform for the
systems I have not deployed yet. I have a large number of stations that are already deployed and I will push the registry change to them using SMS. The important keys to add are apparently in HKCR. I am using Regmon to find out exactly what is changing as I set the File Type in Picture Manager. For instance with the jpeg the "HKCR\.jpg" and "HKCR\OISjpegfile"registry trees are changing and the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileExt" registry setting is not change by the Picture Manager Process. Based on my research, here is the regfile that will set .bmp, .gif. .jpe, ..jpeg, .jpg and .png files to open with Picture Manager. Now I have to get it into my transform and test it on my VM, but first I need some shut eye. ======================================= Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp] @="OISbmpfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif] @="OISgiffile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpe] @="OISjpegfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg] @="OISjpegfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg] @="OISjpegfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png] @="OISpngfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile] @="Bitmap Image" "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\",3 " [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Edit] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Edit\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellEdit \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Open\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellOpen \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Preview] ,-550" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISbmpfile\shell\Preview\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellPreview \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile] @="GIF Image" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\",2 " [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Edit] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Edit\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellEdit \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Open\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellOpen \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Preview] ,-550" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISgiffile\shell\Preview\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellPreview \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile] @="JPEG Image" "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\",1 " [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Edit] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Edit\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellEdit \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Open\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellOpen \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Preview] ,-550" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISjpegfile\shell\Preview\comman d] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellPreview \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile] @="PNG Image" "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\",4 " [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Edit] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Edit\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellEdit \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Open\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellOpen \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Preview] ,-550" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OISpngfile\shell\Preview\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MSOFxp\\OFFICE11\\ois.exe\" /shellPreview \"%1\"" ======================================= "Dana Brash [MSFT]" wrote: Hi, Thanks for your response, and I'm sorry to hear that the steps I provided did not resolve the issue for you.

I also apologize that I did not fully understand your original concerns and provide a more thorough answer. I have performed further research to more thoroughly answer your question. When Office 2000 or Office XP is upgraded to Office System 2003, the graphic file extensions associated with Microsoft Photo Editor are removed even if the extensions have been re-associated with a different graphics file handler. Although Office 2003 installs the Microsoft Office Picture Manager, it does not automatically associate the graphics file extensions during the installation. Picture Manager offers the user a choice during the first run by the user. Unfortunately, this is by design. It is a limitation in Windows installer because it does not know the file association to keep it if it is associated to something else. There are several options to manage this scenario. Please choose the option that best applies to your needs. Option 1: You can re-install Photo Editor on all the systems. This is essentially rolling out an office installation through current methods and only installing the Photo Editor component. To re-install Photo Editor please follow the instructions in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817095 Option 2: You can include the necessary registry settings in your MST by adding the keys in CIW to associate the graphics files with the appropriate applications. I have generated a sample script for you below. You should generate your own script following these steps: 1. On a system that is configured with appropriate file associations, export the following registry keys to file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.bmp HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.gif HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpeg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\FileEx t s\.jpg * you can of course add the keys for any other image files you want to associate as well ** to export the keys, open regedit, browse to the key, right click and choose export 2. Copy the resultant .reg file information into one .reg file, including the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" line only once at the top. 3. In CIW, on screen 12 of 24, Import the .reg file created in step #2. Here is a sample file that I created from my system: ++++++//BEGIN FILE CUT BELOW LINE\\++++++++++++ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.bmp] "Application"="ois.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.bmp\OpenWithList] "a"="mspaint.exe" "MRUList"="dcba" "b"="iexplore.exe" "c"="shimgvw.dll" "d"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.bmp\OpenWithProgids] "Paint.Picture"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.jpg] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.jpg\OpenWithList] "a"="shimgvw.dll" "MRUList"="ebadc" "b"="mspaint.exe" "c"="iexplore.exe" "d"="msnmsgr.exe" "e"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.jpg\OpenWithProgids] "jpegfile"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.gif] "Application"="ois.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.gif\OpenWithList] "a"="shimgvw.dll" "MRUList"="ebadc" "b"="mspaint.exe" "c"="iexplore.exe" "d"="msnmsgr.exe" "e"="OIS.EXE" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileE x ts\.gif\OpenWithProgids] "giffile"=hex(0): ++++++++++//END FILE CUT ABOVE LINE\\++++++++++++++++ Option 3: If you have already rolled out the installation and would rather not re-install office, you can publish a .bat file or implement it as a login script to call the .reg file created above. The .bat file should include a line to call the .reg with this syntax: REGEDIT /S "\\servername\Sharename\name.reg" Hope this helps!
