To go one step beyond this: Is there any way to just completely bypass the Pictures and Videos application (pimg.exe)? I hate it. When I hit the button in the camera application to look at my pictures, it automatically loads pimg.exe.

I've already tried changing all the .lnk files that point to pimg.exe to instead point to htcalbum.exe, but no joy. I also tried editing the following API entries in the registry:

:MSCAMERA
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\RAI\:MSCAMERA]
["1"=reg_szimg.exe -camerakey] changed to ["1"=reg_sz:htcalbum.exe]

:MSPIMG
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\RAI\:MSPIMG]
["1"=reg_szimg.exe] changed to ["1"=reg_sz:htcalbum.exe]


Nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what the camera application calls for the picture viewer? Is it hard-coded to call pimg.exe? That would be fine, I could just rename htcalbum.exe to pimg.exe (that'd probably work if there wasn't a self-reference in there)...but I can't overwrite pimg.exe! Does anyone know how to do that?!

Thanks!
