I have a Citrix server that we use for a few users (20 approx.) the issue I
have is that at the moment any JPG file that is opened goes to the Picture
Viewer.

What I need to do is redirect this to Internet Explorer but not just for one
user, I need to do this for all users who attach to this server.

I realise you can go into Explorer, Tools - Folder Options - File Types and
change it from there but that only works for the user who this process is
being done under, so what I'd like to know is there a registry key I can
change to force a JPG, JPEG files to be opened by Internet Explorer.

Your help is appreciated..

Open a CMD.EXE window and type:

ftype jpgfile="C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "%1"

I tried this, the return command line shows: jpgfile="C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "%1", but then I go to open a JPG file
and it still opens with Microsoft Photo Editor.

Am I doing anything wrong, any other ideas..?

Thanks,

Type

assoc .jpg=jpgfile

If that doesn't work, try restarting.

I assume you have admin privs.
