DISABLE FAX AND PICTURE VIEWER

SOLUTION:-
Well The Picture and Fax Viewer, is one of these programs which can cause problems if removed incorrectly. This is for windows XP,vista,7 It can be disabled safely as follows:

Click Start>Run> type regedit and click OK

Navigate to :
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/ SystemFileAssociations/ image/ ShellEx/ ContextMenuHandlers

Then delete the Folder ShellImagePreview under ContextMenuHandlers

Note: If you want to restore the Picture and Fax Viewer :
Create the ShellImagePreview folder and create the String Value (Default)
Assign it the value {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}.
This tweak doesn't uninstall the program. It removes the association and therefore it cannot be run.

thank you :)
