Why does Internet Explorer open a jpeg from a hyperlink ???

when I created a hyperlink to a jpeg image located on my hard drive, why
does internet explorer open the image??

I am using Office 2000 and IE7 +XP S3

I would have expected an image editor like photoeditor, or windows fax and
picture viewer to open the image.

please advise

When you double-click on a *.jpg in Explorer which application opens the
image?

I cannot replicate this.

My default image viewer is FastStone viewer and that's what opens when I
click on a hyperlink to a *.jpg

I re-associated *.jpgs with three different applications and they all did
their thing from a hyperlink in Excel.

Have you tried......in Explorer.......to right-click on a *.jpg and "Open
With" and point to Windows Fax and Picture Editor.

Set to "always open with".

Hi

I have done some tests and the results have been very weird!

I changed the default image editor to NERO photosnap. This now opened jpegs.
Unfortunately when I inserted another hyperlink to a jpeg, IE7 continued to
open the image.

However, when I inserted a tiff image, then Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
opened up the image.

I then inserted a hyperlink to a giff image and this time MS Photoeditor
opened the image.

All very strange!

I then noticed that I have 'Windows Live Photo Gallery' installed. - Could
this be messing with the processs?

I look forward to your further guidance

it probably isnt 'windows live photo gallery' but it could be something to
do with SP3 for XP.(??)

I am fully updated with all service packs for Windows XP and Office 2003.

I do not have Windows Live Photo Gallery installed so cannot test with that.

Have you cleared out your Temporary Internet Files recently?

If not, I would suggest doing so.

unfortunatley deleting temp internet files or uninstalling Windows live photo
editor did not solve the issue.

Did you manage to read the comments in the link that I sent u? i.e.
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-3768885.php

This problem appears to be affecting other users and appears to have
occurred recently.

Yes, I read the comments.

I have no ideas for you if the registry changes don't help as they did for
another user.

"Just to Update :
I added the registry key suggested (I realised it is a new key),
and this does solve the problem for me.
This confirms this works for Office 97 as well as Office 2003."

unfortunately the registry change did not work.

I then uninstalled IE7 back to IE6. This time, when I created a hypelink to
a jpeg, a black msdos command box appeared, then IE6 tried to launch at the
same time as my default image app.

Is there any way that this issue can be submitted directly to Microsoft ?
