    This dialog keeps asking me every time even if I check the box underneath.
    Any idea?

    Hello @Derst and welcome to tenforums!

    It's looks as if you may still be using Version 7XXXXX which is no longer supported as of Nov 1...

    Version 8 opens attachments within the Skype UI itself.

    This problem has nothing to do with windows? My other local user account opens picture using the Windows Photo Viewer by default but this new account i created isn't.

    What might be the solution to this without updating my skype to version 8. I tried uninstall/install but still no luck.

    Not sure...

    Is Windows Photo Viewer your default viewer?

    Yes, when i right click an image on skype then save it and open from the saved location, it will open by default using photo viewer

    Do you have any solution to skype version 8 to stop its auto update feature?
