    How to open Photos or PDF's with certain programs?


    Hi there,
    My name is Bella, and I need a lot of help. I am disabled and need clear instructions that are easy. Always used Windows till I became disabled, then moved to Apple to give me something to do (as can't do much) and moved back to Windows a year ago. Using Windows 10.
    When I want to open a photo it comes up with a choice of programs I can open it with? How can I change these please?
    Ones are coming up I don't have on my computer?
    I don't really like Windows Photos, but it comes up with about another five. And I don't know how to remove them, or replace them.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Bella

    Hello @Bella , Welcome to Ten Forums.

    For photos use XnView - minimal. XnView . The Best Windows Photo Viewer, Image Resizer and Batch Converter (Scroll down till you see the minimal version)

    For pdf and other electronic document types use SumatraPDF. Download Sumatra PDF - a free reader
