The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default image viewer of Microsoft Windows. But if you install a separate application that handles images or organizes the pictures on the computer like for example the Microsoft Office Picture Manager, it will replace the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

But this function will still be available in Windows it’s just that it’s not the default image viewer anymore, it is the Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

You can always go back and restore Windows Picture and Fax Viewer from being the default image viewer. Open Windows Explorer from your desktop then browse to a folder that contains images or pictures. You will notice that the icon they use come from Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Right-click one of the images then select “Open With” then “Choose Program…”. After that check “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” then click on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to select it then hit OK. And that’s it. Your default image viewer is now Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
