making photoshop default.

my mom installed some nutscape pos.... and its made itself the default viewer for all my .gif and .jpg files. how do i fix that?

Hold Shift and right click on a file, and choose Open With...then choose whatever program you want.

I wa sjust wondering how do you reset the whole program back to default...for some reason or another my photoshop wont open psds but will open jpgs.....and i got the patch to can you help??

Expand on your question:

What do you mean it wont open them? What kind of error are you getting?

I think what H.T.B is saying is that by default, when he clicks the icon, instead of opening in PS, some other program takes over.

My rec, is to reinstall PS so that PS overwrites the settings

Yeah i had this problem too. There is no need to uninstall Photoshop. Just, if u r using windows, go to My Computer > view > Folder options > and then click on the file types tab. In there, u can change, what progam automatically opens what file extensions.

Or follow my original instructions. :rolleyes:

That works with any file.

what it is is that...when i try to open a PSD documant in Photoshop...it wont open...the hour glass comes up but none the less it will not open....and in order to exit the program i have to hit ctrl+alt+del...you know what it could be..holla)))))))))))))

Ouch... that may be a diff prob than what MBB and others are talkin' bout. I would still double check your Folder Options : file types (may be under Tools, not View depending on which version of Windows). Make sure Photoshop owns .psd extension.

If all else fails, fireshocker may be right-- all y'all may be reinstallin' Photoshop!

before going through a reinstall you might try trashing the photoshop "prefs" file. Just move it to the recycle bin and then restart photoshop and PS will make a new prefs file
