    Activated Win Photo Viwer Its defaulted to all my Icon, Ani & Cursors


    Hi I Activated Windows Photo Viewer from a Forum as I do not like the “Photo” App that is defaulted in Windows Ten and now Photo Viewer keeps trying to default open any ANI ICon or Cursor File ?

    All the Icons I had Downloaded to my Downloads > New Icons Folder / over time won’t open anymore from Eg:

    “Folder Right Click > Properties > Right click> Change Icon > click Browse then Downloads > New Icons” and I choose an Icon from the opened new Icons Folder

    Instead the folder opens and they all have the Photo Viewer Icons on them' but if I try and select a random open anIicon with Photo Viewer it will open in Photo Viewer just that Icon I had clicked on and that's it ?

    The same is for all my Cursors and Ani Files says Photo Viewer Cannot open this file

    I cannot change Mouse Pointer or Cursors (ANI) Can Someone give me some advice please Regards

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Activated Win Photo Viwer Its defaulted to all my Icon, Ani & Cursors :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
