How do I change the default program that opens photos in Outlook?

[Island girl]

I have recently installed an Corel program for creating a variety of
documents, stationery, brochures, etc. Since then, every time I recieve a
photo of something with my emails, Corel is the program used for opening
these. I do not want Corel as my default program to open photos. How do I
change it? I have looked everywhere and I can't find any information on
this. Can anyone help?

what is the default for opening them from the my pictures folder? right
click on a picture and choose open with, then choose program option from the
bottom of the list. Select the preferred app and check always open with
this...

I had already tried to do that, but when I right-click on the attachment, the
Open With... option wasn't available. What I just tried seemed to work for
now. I saved one of the attachments to my Desktop, then right-clicked and
did the Open With... option. After choosing the application I wanted, I
could open all the other attachments correctly. I wonder if that will set it
for any other attachments I receive. I will have to wait and see I guess.

Thanks for your suggestion.

it will... you just needed to do it from the winodwsfile system, not from
within outlook.

Thank you! So far, so good. At least I know what to do now if it happens
again.
