GIFs

I have a animated gif on my computer.
NOW it doesn`t work. Does it have to be opened in a specific program to work?

use a browser

If you want to see the animation, open it in IE or Netscape. They don't animate in Photoshop or Paint.

heheheh, too slow:p

K.. thats what i was thinking..
but when I go to IE, open... go to the folder...
it opens in Microsoft Photo Editir..
What gives?

Select it, then Shift-Right click it, select Open With, and select Internet Explorer.

:p, beat you this time, kedaman!

Windows 2000 does not support that feature... or it would seem

run regedit and goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.gif/
(Default) value points to it, you can change it to point to IExplorer

What is REG_multi_sz ?

A fancy word for a string. :)

a string that can contain multiple values

it suggest opening something..

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE" "%1"


How do I change this in IE what is "%1" ??????

the path to iexplorer of course, and %1 is the command parameter

Uh, are you people suggesting that he edit the registry just to create a file association?

yeah what did you think? 2k/XP sucks at file association, besides messing in the registry is fun

Um.?? Guys? How am I suppost get the back up copy of the registry?

Ignore them and do this: select the file in question, hold down the shift key and right-click it, select Open With, select IE and check the checkbox, and hit OK.

Guy.. you already sugested that.
Question though.. why is that function available in Win2K..

I just went to the control panel and found the association with file att. and the registry.. Kinda cool, because i learned something.
Thanks guys

check all and choose filename, save, sometimes you just want to save a selected branch if you don't want to waste diskspace
