I have lost the function "Choose Program" from the "Open With" Menu
when I right click a photo. I get the following message when I click
Choose Program

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing
this action. Create an association in the folder options control
panel.

==It may be worth a try to run the following command:
(this will force a reinstall of WP&F Viewer)

Go to...Start / Run and type
(or copy/paste):

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

(yes, the space after the 2 and the space
after the i is required)

Press...Enter...

You should see a dialog box that says:
DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shimgvw.dll succeeded
