Double click on jpeg files

Post by Guest »

Hi all.
When i double click on a jpeg image in a folder containig other files (exe, pdf, ..) i always receive an error message:
"Format of the file <xxxxx.exe (or xxx.txt, dat, doc) could not be determined"

But I clicked on a jpg file !!!

The program works well if the entire folder has image formats or if i click on gif images.

Thansk !
