Set Windows Photoviewer Default Group Policy Preferences

[lionsl2005]

@FN-GM I think I have Found it!

 

In the Registry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg create a key called UserChoice, create a new string value called Progid with a value PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg this will default .jpg files to open with Photoviewer

 

I have just added a GPO to create the above and tested it on a few machines and it seems to work fine! you will just need to do the same for any other file types you want to open with photo viewer.

Can use GP Preferences to set reg keys easily
