Click on JPEG file in Win XP; image doesn't open

[websquad]

I have Windows XP/Pro with SP3. In File Options > File Types I have JPG set to open up in Photoshop CS4; alas, when JPG files are either in Outlook as attachments or on the desktop, nothing happens when I double click them. My workaround is to drag the file icon into CS4, and this only works from the desktop, not from Outlook.

Any ideas?

Did you also alter the 'Edit' attribute?
