Opening pictures from email.

When I receive emails with pictures, I click to open it, and for some reason Adobe is the default program to try and open files, and it's not been able to open any pics.  I'd like to set Windows Fax and Picture viewer as the default, but can't figure out how.  Any ideas?

===========================================
Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list. If you want
the Windows XP default...choose "Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer".

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and from the
menu...choose...Properties / Change Button...
choose the program you wish to use and click...
OK / Apply / OK.

And...maybe the following free utility would be
worth a try:
