You can do it in Windows Explorer. I reinstalled Photoshop 7.0,
deselecting every file type when that option came up. After it was installed,
I went into Windows Explorer and defaulted most of the graphics file types to
Corel PhotoPaint. The ones that it would not work with I set to Photoshop.
Then I tried a few folders with graphics files and everything worked fine.
I'll try the same with Lightbox tomorrow when I have a WiFi connection.
