How do I set my emailed pictures to be opene by Paint as the default?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46812points) January 2nd, 2019

It’s a lap top. Windows 10 (I think.) The only options it gives me to open the pictures with are TWINUI, Notepad, Windows Media Player, and Wordpad. There is an option to browse. That sends me to Program files and to Windows files, but I can’t figure out how to get to Paint.

Download a photo viewer, not an editor.

Examples:

Irfanview https://www.irfanview.com/

Faststone http://www.faststone.org/

They will also let you set the defaults for picture viewing.

Will it give me the option to open with one of those if I do?

@Dutchess_III each of them will open a picture in an editor if you hit the right keystroke
