right-click the file, open with... pick an image program, and choose "use this every time"

3. IE is assigned as your JPEG viewer |
|
To change that, you need to
open Windows Explorer, select Tools | Folder Options, click the tab labelled "File Types", scroll down to the file types beginning with "J" highlight "JPG" click the Change button select an image viewer from the list of programs.
Repeat as necessary for file types "JPE", "JPEG" and "GIF"

7. As a quick and dirty to view them until you fix your default, do this: |

Open paintbrush by going to "Start", "Run", Type "PBRUSH", then in Paintbrush, do a file open and find the file you want to view.
On edit... you will probably have to change the default "View Files of Type" on the File Open dialog to from Bitmap (bmp) to JPEG or All.

it's an image file from a website -- those are all in the cache directory and are hard to get to.

I was told NOT to remove Explorer when I installed Fire Fox. Because it's so intertwined with the Windows OS, removing it can cause all kinds of problems. If such happens, you may have to re-install Windows.
I'm not a computer geek. But I did phone bank at a Holiday Inn Express today!
