Default Photo App - how to change?

[jjb2025]

The customize file association is set to the old (Windows 7) Photo Viewer:

"Windows Photo Viewer" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>"

How do I copy and paste the modern Windows Photos program?

Thanks!

This works for me on Windows 11. "Photos" {:Image}>::openwith "ms-photos:";

That worked! Thank you so much! :-)

Oops. I spoke too soon. It works if I don't make XY the default file manager. Then pictures open in Windows File Explorer and I can browse a folder of large thumbnail pics. If I set XY as default, it opens the folder as a list (no thumbnails). I could switch XY view to large thumbnails but that would change it for every folder.

Thoughts?

What happens if you deactivate the CFA (uncheck the tick in the CFA list)?
Which program opens your photos then?

Silly me. I forgot to check the box after using your script. Ticked the box and everything works! Thanks!
