Better way to take screen shots!!!

Coolio, i have trouble with pics sometimes.

I have had a problem with the screenies I took during the SH last night. When I go to the screenshot folder, it says that it's a Corel Paint Shop Pro X image. When I dbl click in it it tells me that I must purchase that program for $60.00 to be able to see it. Has this happened to anyone else? It's like this Corel has stolen my screen shots. Richard, do you have a suggestion?

Thanks!

Umm, I'm not sure about that unless that is the default program that was already on your computer for that file type. Can you give me the file type of one of your screen shots? Meaning, is it .jpeg, .bmp or something like that?

This may be a simple fix by just right clicking one of the pictures, hitting open with, then click choose program. From there you can pick a different program to open this file, and make sure you click the box that says Always use this program to open this kind of file. These instructions may vary some, but will be almost the same on any windows.

Yes, it was something already on my machine without my actual knowledge. It's now gone! Thank you for your reply!

Gotta love computer vendors packing lots of useless expensive demo versions of programs on a brand new machine. I swear, if they would just send us the os, necessary programs, and nothing else, we might hate them a little less.
