When I click on a picture it opens in Preview instead of in Explorer.
I have gone to Preferences, into FIle Helpers and reset the files for
GIF, JPEG, etc. to open in Explorer and then saved the changes. It
works fine until I close down Explorer and open it again. It has then
reverted to Preview as the program to open them. Any advice?

This is the only computer that does this at work. I have taken the
preferences from another computer and put them on my computer, and it
still does the same.
