How to Un-default Picasa

You can configure Google Picasa to remove default image types added when you installed it.

Picasa, the Google desktop and online photo editing program, configures itself as the default program for many graphics formats when you install the desktop program. When Picasa is installed as the default program for a format, it will automatically launch the Picasa Picture Viewer when you double-click an image in that format. If you have another program you prefer to use as your default viewer for some or all image formats, you can change the Picasa default formats at any time.

Instructions

1. Open Picasa. Click "Tools" and click "Configure Photo Viewer."

2. Click the "File Types" tab.

3. Click "Select None" to de-select all file types configured to open automatically in Picasa. You can also click "Don't Use Picasa Photo Viewer" to remove all file associations from Picasa.

Tips & Warnings

• You can re-enable Picasa as the default viewer for image types by clicking the boxes next to image types in the "File Types" tab.
