Ok so here I am running win98se, and I hate MS so I'm running opera as my browser.

(I dont have a choice on the OS, I'm a gamer.)

So at any rate, I have a little problem with .jpg and .jpeg files (maybe others too). This is that under the Opera preferences I have it set to use the default application (which is greyed out and supposedly set automatically,) except that opera thinks it is the default. When you look at the windows info on how it handles jpg files, it lists iexplore as the default to handle that file type. Now I might change that, but for now opera is associating with all my jpg files and being a pain in the ass.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Use Mozilla, just as good as Opra but better, and almost as good as IE but worse.

goto the default browser heading (in the opera prefrences), and unclick the jpg box.

if that doesn't work, on a jpg file (in win98) hold down shift and right click on it, and select open with, then choose explorer or whatever, then check the always use this box.

that should work.

My opinion stands.

Thanks, RAOVQ, I had a feeling it would be something obvious, and I had forgotten how to do that trick anyway.
