Insert Object Problem

Insert Object Problem

(OP)
We have been inserting .bmp files into drawings successfully for a longtime.  Today a machine with Microsoft Office Picture Manager associated all .bmp files to use this program instead of Paint.  Solidworks does not recognize this and has changed all of our embedded .bmps to icons.  I have tried to reassociate each file to Paint by using "open with" and checking the default program box, but it does not work.  Can anyone help?

RE: Insert Object Problem

Try using the Tools\Folder options in Windows Explorer and reassociate that away. It's not a SW issue it's more like windows does know what to open it with.
