How do you change which program to view attachments with? Presently
mine open in Windows Live Photo Gallery after Windows nagged me to
update Windows Live Essentials. I don't know what the default was
before the update.

What is the file extension of the attachment that is opening in the wrong
program?

Generally by opening up the program, and telling it to open as
default, or...

If you don't know what you used before, how do you intent to change it
back?

WLPG only does 'graphic' file attachments.

On first use (opening WLPG or opening an attachment) the user is present
with a prompt to allow WLPG be the default for specific graphic filesone
would have to check yes for the change to occur (replacing the previous
default - whatever yours may have been)

You'll have to determine what it was...if you didn't modify Windows default
then it was most likely:
Vista/Win7 - Windows Photo Viewer
XP (iirc) - Fax and Photo Viewer (or similar named)

To revert, you'll have to reset the default viewer:

For Vista/Win7:
Start Menu/Programs/Control Panel/Default Programs

For XP:
