for the viewer next to them in file directories; double

file already loaded. Click any of the check-boxes next
to files you want associated with IrfanView. If you want
all of them associated, click the Select all button below.

IrfanView. Click the box to make it active, then type
in the extensions, each separated by a single space.

default. Click it to remove the option.
 
The Advanced button has some choices for Windows shell
operations. Click the button to access these options:
Add IrfanView To Send-to Menu, and Add Open-browse to
Shell Menu. Check either or both boxes, the close the
dialog, or exit with Cancel.
 
The Set Icon button allows you to choose a different
icon for IrfanView. Click the button to see several
choices; click one of the option buttons to choose
that icon. Click OK to finish your choice, or Cancel
to exit without making any changes.
 
When you are done, click OK at the bottom of the dialog.
To exit without making any changes, click Cancel. Another
way to close is to click the X in the upper right corner.
 
For a helpful reminder of many of the functions in the
Extensions dialog, click the ? in the upper right corner
of the box, point the mouse at an item in the box, and
click again. A message will appear to tell you what that
item is for.
