I tried it several times and it reverted to Paint...(ugh). I don't think it is setting my registry settings properly. The interface is a little strange in that it offers 2 ways to revert to default image tool. Also, it would be better to use listbox with checkboxes so you can select a combination of image types rather than select one or all. DETAILS Win XP Pro I associated it with ArtWeaver. Has anyone else gotten it to work. For me, ImgEditor does not seem to set the file association. I tried it several times and it reverted to Paint…(ugh).

It works on Vista as well as XP well. Also I would vote for paint.net. It is great replacement for microsoft paint and more powerful. Thanks these are good alternatives,

I use that after installing greedy paint applications like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. It can be very frustrating to have an image file but not know the format because the same icon is used for multiple formats.
