    Is there a free download that is as easy to learn and use on Windows 7 as Photo Gallery was? I had used it a long time before it quit working.
    I have used this for a long, long time. Now I seem not to know how any more, or to download and install a substitute.

    I got so used to just using the Snipping Tool to take a photo then opening it with Photo Gallery to view it that I forgot that it might end at some time. Now it HAS. Does not work now. The snipping tool will take a picture but now I cannot view it. Trying to find the Windows Photo Viewer now.
    Now I have forgotten where/how to look for downloaded files. Been awhile.

    Try right-clicking on the photo of interest and choose the Open with > option.
    You'll be presented with a list of applications that can open the photo. Select whichever one you want to use to open the photo.

    I have started getting emails from something called YELP. I unsubscribed because I do not recall using anything like this ever before. I just clicked unsubscribe and closed it. Anyone know exactly what his IS???

    Legitimate Yelp is a website or an android app. What you are getting is not from Yelp; it is spam.

    Unsubscribe is one of the worst things you can do. Mark it as spam and let it go into the spam/junk folder.
    The other option is to block the sender.

    I did not know this and had already unsubscribed. Anything more that I should or can do now that I have done so?

    I tried but not quite sure yet. But thanks. I shall think it over.
    I have a very old AA battery in my mouse and it tests "good" but is getting picky. I substituted another and it worked better right away first time. Guess things get old even if they still work. have some Halloween toys that still have "test good" batteries with them but maybe the batteries get bad just sitting idle for a year or so. Even if they test good on a tester.

    Did anyone ever hear of this? Email to Verify your Residents Energy Account Reward Card : "Congratulations, your $25 Mastercard Reward Card is now available!*
    Also has "Your Unique Redemption Code is: xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxx." What should I do with this emailed notification?
    Please call Mpell Solutions at 800-450-1575 between 9am and 5 pm Pacific time Mon-Fri."
    I am afraid to respond to such 'come-on' such as these.

    Stop opening SPAM! Mark them as spam and it will move to the spam/junk folder.

    It doesn't mean anything.
    You probably, accidentally marked it.

    Is there a free program similar to PHOTO GALLERY I could download and install and have it work on my outdated Windows 7 64 bit laptop computer?????
    The DELL laptop cannot use the one I have been using for years.

    Yes, included with Windows 7 is Windows Photo Viewer.
    Open Control Panel then Default programs and last, set default programs.

    Right click on it and select set program as default.

    I did as you said but I am not sure how to test or try it. I followed your instructions which seemed easy but now unsure how to use it.

    When I tried this I got the message "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updated to Photo Viewer.
