Ians Ramblings

Last weekend Analie and I took a trip over to Warwick Castle, a place I haven’t been to since I was 5, on my 5th birthday !

It was a gorgeous sunny day so got the chance to take quite a few rather nice photos of everything. I feel a few of them came out pretty well, mostly through luck hehe but have a look for yourself here.

Then had a nice time seeing Analie’s other friends down there in Coventry. I also did some night time photography of the city centre of Coventry but have included it in my arty section.

This may sound absurd but if you have ever installed an application such as Macromedia Fireworks and your default JPEG viewer has been changed it can be a nightmare to get back to the original viewer.

Officially it is the Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery, but attempting to change the default program back to this is not enough,, oh no, that will bring up your whole gallery of images.

Removing any user defined file extension default for jpg, jpeg or jpe within the registry editor (regedit) will simply take you back to square one,, with fireworks.

The only way to get back to the factory default is to actually carry out stage one (right click image and open with, then select default, but switch the view to not just “programs” but “all files” and within “Program Files” -> “Windows Photo Gallery” and then choose “PhotoViewer.dll” and at last it works again!
