I highly recommend "File Types Manager" from NirSoft, not just to fix
this problem, but in general. It will set not only default file
association but allow inclusion of other programs and actions in the
context menu. Available in 32 and 64 bit versions.

"FileTypesMan is an alternative to the 'File Types' tab in the 'Folder
Options' of Windows. It displays the list of all file extensions and
types registered on your computer. For each file type, the following
information is displayed: Type Name, Description, MIME Type, Perceived
Type, Flags, Browser Flags, and more. FileTypesMan also allows you to
easily edit the properties and flags of each file type, as well as it
allows you to add, edit, and remove actions in a file type."

Hi!
I right click, open with, go to "program», find Photoshop.exe (64 bit - what
I run), click on it, OK... and it does not show up in the list...
BMP shows, Tiff shows, NOT JEPG's ;-(
I thing I have admin privileges... unless i'm mistaken...

Thanks, Dave.
I've taken down the address. If I can't solve this another way, I'll try
this one.

Have you looked in Photoshop to see if there is any setting to assign
file types ?

Dave,
I checked in the Registry Editor and I saw that with "OpenWithList",
Photoshop.exe is there as "d", with type REG_SZ.
PictureViewer.exe (which incidentally opens JPEG's at this time) is there
with type "b" REG_SZ.
Also there are Wordpad, MSPaint, etc...
The first on the list, (default) has ((value not set).
Perhaps this may suggest something?

I have. Unless I overlooked something, I'll look again. However, it's
unlikely since JPEG's are the only ones I have a problem, with.

Windows 7 actually has a burner built in, but I mostly use ImgBurn.

I use ImgBurn, as mentioned by Dave \"Crash\" Dummy, and Infrarecorder in
a Windows environment. The utility I pointed you towards cleans up the
crud left behind by Nero's uninstaller, and there's a lot of it.

If you have done all I have suggested and you still seem to have a
problem then I'm out of ideas, sorry.
Hopefully somebody else can sort you out.
