Picasa as default

[wendyl]

Can anyone help please?
Having passed on my PC to my husband without fully 'emptying' the hard disk or removing some programmes we are having a few problems. One of these is that when clicking on his pictures saved on his original hard disk in a 'caddy' they are being opened by default with Serif Photo Plus but he wants to use Picasa. Can I change it so that Picasa is the default without removing Serif and if so how?
many thanks

Right-clcik one of his picture files. From the menu that appears, select "Open With", followed by Choose Program. Make sure that the box at the foot of the menu, next to the line that reads, "Always use this program to open these files", has a tick in it. Select Picasa from the prgram list, then click on OK.

unfortunately I spoke too soon! When clicking on 'open with' Picasa did not come up as a choice then or with browse. The pictures are on external hard disk 'G' and I have not managed to copy them over although I have plenty of spaceI'm sure it will be straightforward if i just do it right
any help appreciated thanks

If anyone's interested it seems picasa is not intended as a default and after tryinng a number of different ideas, I copied the pictures to the
C drive (I couldn't get picasa to find them on G) voila - Hubby is happy he can now do what he wants with picasa and I can get on with my own activities
thanks
