No file association for pictures

[hotdog53]

Hi, I just discovered that there is no association for any of my pictures, including those on my storage card. Does anyone know how this happened, and can this be fixed without a hard re-set?
Thanks!

Try in file explorer going to one of the photo files and then clicking on the menu button and then on open path and then put in the path box windows\start menu\programs\ pictures and videos and see if that doesn't associate the files with pics and vids again. I remember having to do that sound files before once in WM 2003 and it only took one file to associate with it to associate all them again. Hopefully that's all it will take in WM5 or WM6, whichever you're using.

Just an afterthought, did you try running pics and vids and see if it wouldn't just find those files and associate them with it?

I ran pictures and videos, and was able to view the pictures in my pictures main memory, my pics, storage card, but the pictures still had the white icon with the windows logo in the center. I could not view by tapping directly on the picture. Any how after aggravation, I did a hard re-set that I didn't want to do. I saw open new path, but didn't know what to put in for the path. Now I know thanks to you if it ever happens again.
Thank You!

No problem. That kind of problem doesn't seem to happen very often, so hopefully you won't have to do that again. If it does though, it may be caused by software that you have installed.

As a matter of fact, I installed XN viewer for photos, and with all the options that were available, I must've some how associated the viewer with my pictures, and when I removed the program, I removed the default association as well. Live and Learn!
