Picasa as default
4 Answers
Can anyone help please?
Having passed on my PC to my husband without fully 'emptying' the hard disk or removing some programmes we are having a few problems. One of these is that when clicking on his pictures saved on his original hard disk in a 'caddy' they are being opened by default with Serif Photo Plus but he wants to use Picasa. Can I change it so that Picasa is the default without removing Serif and if so how?
many thanks

Make sure that the box at the foot of the menu, next to the line that reads, "Always use this program to open these files", has a tick in it. Select Picasa from the prgram list, then click on OK.
unfortunately I spoke too soon! When clicking on 'open with' Picasa did not come up as a choice then or with browse. The pictures are on external hard disk 'G' and I have not managed to copy them over although I have plenty of spaceI'm sure it will be straightforward if i just do it right
any help appreciated thanks
