    Now I want to get it back to the default settings.

    I have plenty of space on the C drive to hold what documents that I have, Been busy having a good clean out.
    To my question How can I get the documents from the external ssd to the original documents folder on the C drive and same for the photos.
    I have all the documents all backed up twice.I do want this to run as it should be.
    Any Help Please.
    Many thanks. I would be vert grateful for you help.
    Ta.

    Using libraries as default

    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 Using libraries as default :) 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.
