默认情况下，当我在Windows(Windows)中双击图片时，Windows 照片查看器(Windows Photo Viewer)会打开图片！这很好，但我宁愿用不同的照片查看程序打开它，例如Photoshop、GIMP等。
如果这个问题也让您烦恼，有一种简单的方法可以将Windows中的默认照片查看程序更改(change the default photo viewing program)为您选择的应用程序！实际上，有两种方法可以解决它。
此外，您可以对其进行配置，以便使用一个应用程序打开一种图像(image type)类型，使用不同的程序打开另一种图像类型。(image type)例如，您可以使用Photoshop打开(Photoshop and GIF images)JPG图像，使用Photo Viewer打开 GIF 图像。
请注意，除了更改默认图片查看器(default picture viewer)外，您还可以按照以下相同步骤更改默认媒体播放器、默认网络浏览器(default web browser)等。例如，对于默认媒体播放器，您可以从列表中选择您的媒体播放器，即VLC Media Player，然后调整它的设置。
调整默认程序
如果您仍在运行Windows XP，请务必阅读我关于更改默认程序(default program)以打开文件的单独帖子，因为XP 程序(XP procedure)不同。
在Windows 7和更高版本中，您可以更改程序打开的文件类型，也可以更改打开特定文件类型(specific file type)时使用的程序。单击(Click)控制面板(Control Panel)，然后在图标视图下单击默认程序。(Default Programs)
在这里，您将看到我上面提到的两个选项：设置默认程序(Set your default programs)和将文件类型或协议与程序关联(Associate a file type or protocol with a program)。
如果单击第一个链接，您将获得计算机上安装的不同程序的列表。选择程序，Windows(program and Windows)会告诉您该程序设置为打开多少个默认值。
然后，您可以单击将此程序设置为默认值(Set this program as default)以使其打开所有默认文件(default file)类型，或者您可以单击为此程序选择默认值(Choose defaults for this program)以选择特定文件类型。
在上面的示例中，Internet Explorer设置为打开GIF图像，Microsoft Office 2010设置为打开JPG文件。所有其他格式都设置为使用Windows 照片查看器(Windows Photo Viewer)打开。例如，如果您想使用其他程序打开图片，请从列表中选择该程序，然后选择将此程序设置为默认值(Set this program as default)。
通过打开方式调整
返回并单击使用程序调整文件类型或协议(Adjust a file type or protocol with a program)将允许您浏览存储在计算机上的数百种文件类型，然后更改打开该类型文件的默认程序(default program)。
当您单击更改程序(Change Program)时，您将获得推荐程序(Recommended Programs)和其他程序的列表，以及( Other Programs)浏览(Browse)到当前未列出的程序的选项。
与第一个选项相比，此方法的优点是您可以在此处选择您喜欢的任何程序来打开文件。在第一种方法中，只有在Windows中注册的程序才会显示在该列表中，并且无法手动添加缺少的程序。
您还可以通过右键单击资源管理器(Explorer)中的任何文件，单击打开( Open With)方式，然后单击选择默认程序(Choose default program)来访问相同的对话框。
Windows 8、10 默认程序
在Windows 8和Windows 10中，情况略有不同，因为现在您拥有桌面应用程序和Windows 应用商店应用程序(Windows Store app)。默认情况下，所有Windows 8/10电脑都将安装Windows 照片查看器(Windows Photo Viewer)和照片应用(Photos app)程序。前者是桌面应用程序，将在那里加载，后者是Windows Store 应用程序(Windows Store app)，将作为应用程序加载。
您可以按照与Windows 7(Windows 7)相同的步骤进行操作，但唯一的区别是您会看到Windows 应用商店(Windows Store)应用程序也列为选项。如前所述，您可以将其他默认设置（例如默认媒体播放器）更改为您选择的另一个程序或应用程序(program or app)，而不是Windows 8 和 Windows 10 中的视频(Video)或电影和电视应用程序。(Movies & TV)
希望您现在可以双击图像并期望打开正确的程序。您确实要小心更改这些设置，因为无法简单地将所有默认程序重置为其原始值。我不确定为什么这个选项不(option doesn)存在，因为它应该存在，但它只是不存在。
重置默认程序的唯一真正方法是下载(download a registry file)将手动更改每个值的注册表文件或创建新的用户配置文件(user profile)。这些设置存储在每个用户的基础上，因此创建一个新的用户帐户(user account)将从头开始。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
How to Change Default Picture Viewer in Windows
By default, whеn I double-click on a picture in Windows, Windows Photo Viewer оpens the image! That’s nice, but I would rather it оpen with a different рhoto viewing program, such as Photoshop, GIMP, etc.
If this problem annoys you also, there is a simple way to change the default photo viewing program in Windows to the application of your choice! Actually, there are two ways to go about it.
Also, you can configure it so that one image type opens with one application and another image type opens with a different program. So you could have JPG images open with Photoshop and GIF images open with Photo Viewer, for example.
Note that in addition to changing the default picture viewer, you can follow the same steps below to change the default media player, default web browser, etc. For example, for the default media player, you would select your media player from the list, i.e. VLC Media Player, and then adjust the settings for it.
Adjust Default Programs
If you’re still running Windows XP, then make sure to read my separate post on changing the default program to open a file with since the XP procedure is different.
In Windows 7 and higher, you can change which file types a program opens or you can change which program is used when opening a specific file type. Click on the Control Panel and then click on Default Programs while under the icons view.
Here you will see the two options I mentioned above: Set your default programs and Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
If you click on the first link, you’ll get a list of the different programs installed on your computer. Select the program and Windows will tell you how many defaults this programs is set to open.
You can then click on Set this program as default to have it open all the default file types or you can click Choose defaults for this program to choose specific file types.
In the example above, Internet Explorer is set to open GIF images and Microsoft Office 2010 is set to open JPG files. All other formats are set to open with Windows Photo Viewer. If you want to use a different program to open pictures, for example, select that program from the list and then choose Set this program as default.
Adjust via Open With
Going back and clicking on Adjust a file type or protocol with a program will allow you to browse through the hundreds of file types stored on the computer and then change the default program for opening that type of file.
When you click Change Program, you’ll get a list of Recommended Programs and Other Programs, along with an option to Browse to a program that is not currently listed.
The advantage to this method as opposed to the first option is that here you can choose any program you like to open a file. In the first method, only programs that have registered with Windows will show up in that list and there is no way to manually add a missing program.
You can also get to this same dialog by right-clicking on the any file in Explorer, clicking on Open With and then clicking on Choose default program.
Windows 8, 10 Default Programs
In Windows 8 and Windows 10, things are slightly different because now you have desktop apps and you have Windows Store apps. By default, all Windows 8/10 PCs will have Windows Photo Viewer and the Photos app installed. The former is a desktop app and will load there and the latter is a Windows Store app and will load as an app.
You can follow the same procedures as for Windows 7, but the only difference is that you will see the Windows Store apps listed as options too. As mentioned earlier, you can change other defaults like the default media player to another program or app of your choice rather than the Video or Movies & TV app in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Hopefully, you can now double-click on an image and expect the correct program to open. You do want to be careful changing these settings because there is no way to simply reset all default programs back to their original values. I’m not sure why this option doesn’t exist, because it should, but it’s just not there.
The only real way to reset default programs is to either download a registry file that will manually change each value or create a new user profile. These settings are stored on a per user basis, so creating a new user account will start you from scratch. If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Enjoy!
