Every time I double-click on a .JPG image in Windows 7, I find that it opens up the wrong program. I don't want Photoshop, I want MS Paint to open because I almost always just want to scale or trim the photo. How can I change the default program?

Here's an interesting mystery for you: I wrote an article with this title back in 2005, with the original question thusly:

"Dave, I was hoping you could help on this really security alert that keeps on coming up every time I go on the Internet. The alert states the following:

Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate. The security certificate was issued by a company you have chosen not to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority. The certificate is valid and the security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view.

I would be very grateful if you could help stop this security alert from appearing in future."

I want to set Internet Explorer so that when I start it up, it always goes to a webpage other than the default startup page. How can I change the "startup page" or "home page" in Internet Explorer?

How do I get back the menus across the top of the screen ("File", "Edit", "View", "Favorites", etc.) that used to be displayed in Microsoft Internet Explorer?

For testing purposes, I want to be able to run both Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 on my Windows XP system. Is that possible, and if so, how do I get it working?

I tried to get IE to ask me if it wanted to be the default browser, but it will not. I keep checking the box and shutting the computer down. I am an unfortunate who had mozilla firefox foisted upon them, please help me restore IE as my default browser.

A pal of mine uses a program called Roboform on her PC to keep her site passwords all synchronized between her different Web browsers and as a Mac user I figure there's got to be at least as good a solution, if not better on my new Macintosh. So how do you manage your passwords?

I have about 4,000 sites bookmarked and arranged into folders etc. The problem is that I want them arranged alphabetically.

I can arrange them any way I like in Windows Explorer, but that arrangement does not affect them when I click on the "Favourites" in IE. I think they did it automatically in 5.5, but it is really cheesing me off having to keep dragging them manually into alphabetic order.

I'm trying to play my music CD on my PC because I need to make a tape of it to send to the copyright office. So I'm running the headphones out of my laptop into the line IN on my little boombox and I'm making the tape, right, but guess what? Every time I click on a frickin' hyperlink in Internet Explorer there's this huge "click!" coming out onto the tape! How rude is that?

I downloaded Firefox and then found that it just wasn't for me. Hence, I deleted it. However, my shortcuts on my desktop now keep asking for Firefox when I try to open them. Did I not get it all off my machine and if not how do I go about getting rid of every trace of this browser?
