Default How to reset default associations in Vista

I am running Vista Ultimate, with Office 2007. I was happily using
Office Picture Manager to view my jpeg images until I let picassa 3.0
from Google grab the file associations that it wanted. Now, I want to
set them back, but when I go to the default associations manager, it
does not list the Office Picture Manager, just the Windows Picture
Manager. How do I get it to find and present the Office Picture
Manager and allow then grab all the defaults back?

I was able to give jpeg to the Office Picture Manager, and I could do
that for the other defaults that it might use, but I do not know all
the file types it wants.

Hi *Hollis Paul* try "start" "control panel" then "default programs"
scroll down to "jpg" and click once one it and select "change program"
on the upper right. In the window that opens you will likely see "Office
Picture Manager" listed select it , make sure always use this program is
selected.
You might even be able to unselect JPGs in picassa "preferences.
Hope this helps you.

I seem to have missed this last step. I'll try again.

There is also a statement in the help file for Office Picture Manager
to go to the tools menu, choose file defaults and go from there.
However, there is nothing on my Tools Menu in OFM. Bummer.

The lasting problem was that I did it for jpeg, and the file type I was
clicking on was jpg. I have reset the defaults for jpe, also.

Things seem to be happening as I expect them, now.
