Windows 2000 Double-click will NOT open image view in XnView

Post by bill.mitchell@esc.edu »

I like the user interface of XnView better than IrfanView.

However, I tried EVERYTHING I could possibly find and I could not get XnView to open / view images in windows 2000.

I set file types to OPEN via XnView in the Win 2000 Tools / Folder Options. Nothing happened.

No preferences I could find in the program either.

Not the viewer I want to use if Double-Click to view won't work. Wish it did, I like the work done so far.

There was a thread about this problem, but can't find it :-(
Which key value do you have for HKCR/XnView.*? (if you know registry)

No helmut, in 1.80 first release there was a bug in setup, and a bad key was created.

O.k. I guess it this one: "Can't view JPG file by using XnView".
