I just installed Adobe Photoshop on an Windows XP machine and told it to take over the file associations for almost all image types. This is what I wanted for the Open and Edit verbs, and probably Print too, come to think of it. BUT, Photoshop also took over the the Preview verb as well which is very frustrating.

The whole purpose of having a Preview option distinct from Open and Edit is so that a lighter, faster loading application can be used for previewing. Windows XP has an excelent, IMO, file viewer that it uses for preview image files by default. I would very much like to get that viewer restored as the default application for the Windows shell preview verb. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
