[QUOTE="MalGV, post: 1779692, member: 397094"] Disabled and deleted, along with a few other old things I don't use. Restarted my computer. Everything is fine [I]until[/I] I drag-and-drop an image from online. When the picture is loading onto my Desktop, the image is that ugly "orange PNG rectangle over white sheet of paper" image instead of the normal "preview icon". However, I also noticed the problem has become sporadically lessened even more now: the first time I dragged a PNG image onto my Desktop, all the PNGs wanted to open in something other than Preview. Now I went and did something else and came back to see that everything was set to open in Preview; then when I dragged over an image offline for a second tie, now everything wants to open in Photoshop. After a few minutes of waiting, suddenly things are back to normal with everything set to open in Preview. So again, it looks like we're making progress!
