    Thank you so much. I have been trying to do this with getting ZERO results from other sites, until I came to your site. The very first time I tried it from your site directions….100% success. I now have Windows Photo Viewer on my NEW installation of WIN 10. Now I have Windows Photo Viewer installed and set as my default viewer. It works.
