pdnnoob Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Split this into it's own topic so it doesn't get confused with the other question. I, myself, have been curious about this for some time. While I have no intention of changing my default image editor back to MSPaint, it has concerned me that there is not option within Paint.net to do this. I have also confirmed the above. The registry key is not changed, yet Paint.net is still the default image editor, making it impossible, as far as I can tell, to change it back to MSPaint.

midora Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would expect that the perceived type 'image' is still associated to paint.net. So check with regedit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command Set (Default) to "C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe" "%1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 There may be several verbs associated with an extension like open, edit, print. Doubleclick is by default associated with the 'open' verb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Do these steps not work? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859This changes the default viewer. Here, we are discussing how to change the program that opens the file when you right-click and click "Edit" I would expect that the perceived type 'image' is still associated to paint.net. So check with regedit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command Set (Default) to "C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe" "%1" Those are the steps I expected to take, but that reg key is already set to mspaint.

null54 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The registry keys Paint.NET changes are: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\edit\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pngfile\shell\edit\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\shell\edit\command For JPEG, PNG and BMP files respectively. 4 Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
