Photos of Windows 10 in Russian. Free programs to view photos and image management. Using the registry editor will quickly lead the user to the desired result.

Many users when familiarizing with the new OS from Microsoft discovered that view photos windows 10 is carried out through the program "Photos". But in Windows 8 Microsoft was offered to choose between a photo viewing agent and the "Photos" tool.

Why the developers have delivered users the ability to view common graphic formats Through a more convenient and functional program?

Many windows users 10 Start looking more suitable third-party products, knowing that the "Photo Viewer" works only with TIFF and TIF formats. Therefore, we will look at how to add this tool to the "Default Applications" section and the Open Using Dialog, where the program initially is missing.

We use registry editor

More advanced users are trying to specify the "Photo Viewer" as an application for opening pixel images through the "Program Mappings" tool, but, again, the application is available only for the TIFF / TIF above. Is it possible to make a photo viewer can be specified as a means of opening and other image formats? Naturally, and make it easier simple.

1. Call the registry editor by running the "Regedit" command in the search bar or the text line of the Win + R command interpreter.


2. Go to HKLM / Software / Microsoft / Windows Photo Viewer / Capabilities / FileAssociation.


Here you will see a pair of parameters with the name of image formats that are allowed to open using the photo viewer.

3. Through the right button, call the context menu of the free part of the space of the right frame window and select the creation of a string parameter (REG_SZ).


4. Enter its name as ".jpeg", and as a value we specify "photoviewer.fileassoc.tiff".


All the same operations are done for other formats (.jpg, .gif, .png) that you want to open through a more convenient tool for imaging.


5. Call "Parameters" by Win + I.

6. Go to "System" → "Default applications".


8. In the left frame with a list of programs, click on the "Photo Viewer" tool, then - by the pictogram with the inscription: "Select default values \u200b\u200bfor the program."


9. Slip flags near the required formats.


11. Call item context menu "Open with" on one of the selected image formats.

View "View photo photos".

12. Specify the tool as the default image opening means.


Alternative method

For beginners who do not want to dig in the repository fancy windows settings 10 It is recommended to use the Winaero Tweaker utility.

  • After starting the application, we move to the last item of the available tweaks "Windows Accessories".
  • Click on the button "Activate Windows Photo Viewer".


The result will be similar in both cases.

With operating output windows systems 10 Users faced not only with a new interface. The developers did so that all images be opened through the "Photos" utility. Although it is more functional, but many want to return the old photo view in Windows 10.

Testing new windows features 10, many of the users found a small, but annoying trouble. It turned out that browing the images of popular formats was only possible in the "Photos" application, whereas in Windows 8.1, users could choose between "photos" and "photo viewing means." It was this second application that seemed much more convenient. In Windows 10 it is available, but allows you to open images of only TIF and TIFF formats.

Unfortunately, to set this program as the main tool to view images, it is impossible, as it is simply missing in the default application subsection. The same applies to the dialogue of the context menu "Open with the help". If you open it, then detect there only "photos" and "paint". You will not help the standard "software mapping" tool, since only two formats will be available to the Windows Photo Tools: TIF and TIFF.

But not trouble. The situation with the missing function can be fairly easy to fix by making small changes to the system registry. To do this, open the registry editor and deploy the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows Photo Viewer / Capabilities / Fileassociations

In the last subsection, you will see two parameters with the names of the most two formats referred to in previous paragraphs. Immediately create a new parameter of type REG_SZ (normal string) with the name.jpg and the value of photoviewer.fileassoc.tiff. Exactly the same parameters create for BMP, DIB, JPE, GIF, JFIF, JPEG, JXR and PNG formats.

After that, open the "Parameters" application and then go to the System -\u003e Default Applications -\u003e Set the default values \u200b\u200bby application.

In the left column of the opening window, select the Windows Photo Viewer application, click "Select Default Values \u200b\u200bfor this program" ...

... And install the ticks opposite you added via the format registry.

Save the changes and check the contents of the "Open Usat" menu. If all you have been done correctly, the "View photo photos" option will appear for the added formats files. It's all. Now you can easily make the program to view the default image tool.

And further. Those who do not want to mess around with the registry can recommend free utility Winaero Tweaker, only you will need the most latest version. Run it, contact the list of available tweaks to the very end. At the end of the list, you will find the option "Activate Windows Photo Viewer". Use it, and you will get the same result as with the manual registry editing.
