How to Change Default Program to Open Picture File In Windows 8

You also can change this default program  using other picture viewer you may have, or  use Windows Photo Viewer.

To change the default program for opening pictures/images from Photos to other photo viewer or to Windows Photo Viewer :

• Click  Choose default program




• Give a tick on Use this app for all JPG files
• Select / click Windows Photo Viewer , or other program you may have


Now you can try to open JPG files, should have been opened by the Windows Photo Viewer.

Perform the same steps for other picture files:  bmp, gif, png, etc..
