How to Set Windows Photo Viewer as Default in Windows 10 Windows  Photo Viewer was a useful and simple  tool  in Windows 7, so it kind of boggles the mind that  Microsoft decided to steadily phase it out over subsequent Windows versions in favour of the volatile “Photos” app. These days Microsoft has made it hard to get the Photo Viewer back by removing its “exe” file altogether. With a little workaround, however, you can set it as your default photo viewing app again. Here’s how. If You Upgraded From Windows 7/8 If you’re running  Windows  10 after upgrading from Windows 7 or 8, then good news: you should still have registry entries for Windows Photo Viewer on your PC, and it shouldn’t be a problem to  set  Photo  Viewer  as the default. One option is to find a JPEG, PNG, or whatever kind of image file you want to associate with Photo Viewer, right-click it, then click “Open with” and select “Windows Photo Viewer.” If it’s not there, click “Choose another app” from

How to Delete Your Facebook Account (Or at Least Protect Your Data) https://www.maketecheasier.com/delete-facebook-account/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=28032018 The hashtag “#deletefacebook” is currently trending on  Twitter . This comes in response to the recent revelation that the  data  firm Cambridge Analytica accessed the private information of millions of Facebook users. With Mark Zuckerberg admitting fault and Facebook’s stock losing nearly $50 billion, this data scandal is serious business. This has prompted new questions about how Facebook secures its users data and how potentially bad  apps  can illegally obtain that data through exploiting various loopholes in Facebook’s business practices. As a result, many are wondering if they should ditch the social media giant for good. However, deleting  Facebook  altogether isn’t an option for everyone.
