Windows 10: Photos

How do I stop Windows from allowing people to see ALL of my pictures when I only attach ONE picture? I thought it was an Outlook issue, but I assume by the posts here, it is a Windows issue.


Specifically, here's what happens:

1. I am on my laptop. It runs Windows 10.

2. I get into my e-mail account (Hotmail, which is managed by Outlook).

3. I click on the paper clip icon to attach something, and I select "browse computer"

4. I find the ONE photograph I want and select it to send as an attachment. It loads and I can see it on my e-mail before I send. Only that ONE picture is there.

5. When the recipient receives the e-mail, they have the option to download, if they want to keep the picture.

6. They click on download because they do want to keep it.

7. They open the picture and at the top they have six or seven icons. The icon on the top left that looks like upside down triangles - - if they hover their cursor over it; don't have to click it, just HOVER - - it gives the the option to "Browse all your photos and videos."

8. And if they do click, horror of horrors, they can see ALL of my photos going back YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTH??!!


By the way, this also occurs even if I use my Gmail account to send a photo.


There must be a way to turn this option off, but I've tried everything and can't find it. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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.

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
