Good deal
I knew the tools we use might find that.

OK
So that people don't start talking about us connecting so much on the internet, we gotta say good bye.
The country girl is wore out! and I got to go cook supper.

hahaha

Done !

Thanks for all your help

Where are you based - Love country girls LOL

Oh just found a glitch in my system (I hope the only one)

Tried opening a .jpg and a .png file for work and both wont open coming up with a message invalid value for registry. same for all photos on my system now.

Will this be due to my registry being a bit all over the place now having restored it to last weeks (pre changes we made) ?

I think your registry has been through quite an ordeal. Makes me kinda feel what we might do to it now could wreck the repairs that were done.
But,
What are you trying to view the jpg's with, the Photos app or something else ? What photo viewer programs do you have ?
Does the "Photos" app work OK when you launch it from the Start Menu?
The easy thing to try first is this -

1. Click "Start", then click "Settings".
2. Click the first option "System".
3. On the left side second from the bottom, click "Default Apps".
4. Click the name of the App under "Photo Viewer" (Should currently say "Photos").
5. Select "Windows Photo Viewer" or any other App.

or
R-click a jpg/click Open with/Choose another app. In the window that opens, click on the app you want to use, tick Always use this app to open .jpg files/click OK.
This should reset the default registry settings, if it's corrupted.

It was Win 10 Photo Viewer I had been using - I've now installed a third part photoviewer which seems to work ok

Followed an online tutorial to uninstall photoviewer with windows powershell - by typing ............. get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

I tried then reinstalling using windows app store but it doesn't load just flashes up briefly and disappears

when I go into default apps and try and associate an app from the app store (photo viewer - as its now missing) as soon as I click on look for an app in the store it generates a similar error message ms-windows-store :assoc?filext=.jpg

[woody55]

I got Appstore and windows photo viewer working by following step 3 here

Fingers crossed

[woody55]

hate to ask as I know i've potentially created a registry minefield but is there any tools I can use to iron out registry conflicts that may be lurking waiting to pounce ?

Thanks
