Hello. I've had this Windows 8 desktop for about a year, w/o many issues. Now, without having changed anything (as far as I know), when I click on any jpeg file, it automatically tries to open in word 2013- which, of course, it can't do. I want to know how to revert to having them open in Live Photo Gallery. Thanks for your help.

In File Explorer, right click on a jpg file and then select Open with and click on Choose another app and after selecting the application that you want to use, check the box for "Always use this app to open .jpg files" and click on OK.
Thanks for your help. I varied your advice a little, though. When I right clicked on a jpeg, I chose "choose default program". It works fine now.
