Changing defaults on Vista.
I downloaded some Corel software and it took over my defaults.

How do I set Firefox back to my default browser?

And how do I change defaults for my pictures so that Corel doesn't try to put them in their photo shop program when all I'm trying to do is breeze through them on the slideshow/

Yes, I looked up how to programs, but with all the changes in Firefox, the illustrations don't match up.

1. If Vista is the same as Win7
Open Control Panel > Default Programs.

First on the list is Set Default Programs. Set Firefox as default here (also email, media player etc)

Next item is to Associate a program or protocol to files. Scroll the list until you find jpeg or whatever and change it back to your default picture viewer.
