Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Shortcut for image defaults to Windows Picture & Fax Viewer

I've set the default program for opening images to Windows Live Photo Gallery yet my UltraMon shortcut insists on opening the image with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Is there a setting or registry file I can change so that the shortcut opens with Windows Live Photo Gallery?

Thanks for the bug report, I've been able to reproduce the issue, will look into this for the next release.

As a workaround you could create a new shortcut via UltraMon menu > Shortcuts, and launch Windows Live Photo Gallery directly. The application field for the shortcut would need to be set as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\WLXPhotoGallery.exe" /LaunchPhotoViewer /v "<imagefile>"

where <imagefile> is the full path and name of the image you want to open.

If you're on 64-bit Windows, use the following command instead:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\WLXPhotoGallery.exe" /LaunchPhotoViewer /v "<imagefile>"
