SYMPTOMS
After you associate an image file type with Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003, Picture Manager does not start when you double-click the file.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because some third-party programs do not use the registry correctly.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, you must &quot;de-associate&quot; the file from any program that it was previously associated with, and then associate it with Picture Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, click My Computer, click the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the File Types tab.
 * 2) In the Registered file types list, click the file type that you want to open with a different program, and then click Change.
 * 3) In the Open With dialog box, click Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003, and then click OK.
 * 4) In the Folder Options dialog box, click OK.
