Does not seem to work properly.
right click on an image icon (standard .jpg image) => choose "open with" => PS7 = results in PS7 opening but not the image.

Works properly in PS6.x, Painter, Paint Shop Pro, and PhotoPaint, so why not PS7?

Win2K, SP4, 1.8 GHZ, 768 MB RAM

Thank you for the reply.
Unless I misread it, that isn’t quite what I’m after – that discussion suggests a fix for when you want PS to be the default program to open a file. I do not want PS to be the default program to open jpg files, but I want it to open them when I choose to have it open them (big difference). Would you have any other suggestions?

Nevermind, I solved it by checking to see how that registry key was written for PS6 (since that worked).
By modifying the key to match the PS6 entry it now works in PS7.

key modified to read: "G:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

Thank you again for pointing the way to the information I needed to solve the issue.

great. i thought that if that wasn’t exactly it, it would point you in the right direction. the problem is w/the missing "%1" that tells the program what to open (that’s a variable that contains the path/filename to open, in case you hadn’t guessed it!)
