Hi everyone,

I would like to prevent Microsoft Office Document Imaging from auto opening after I'm saving to file programatically through C#.
I choose Microsoft Document Image Writer as my printer name and the performing the save to a file.

When the saving is done then the OS auto launches the Microsoft Office Document Imaging.

How can Iprevent this from happening.
I should mention that I tried to change the value in the registry of the MODI to 0. Having set the OpenInMODI to 0. But having done so still won't prevent the MODI from auto launching.

Any help would be aprecciated.
Thanks in advanc,
Mike.

Hi Mike,

I performed a test based on your description and did see the problem on my side. I found that this problem doesn't exist in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer,i.e. if you select the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default program for the .tif and .tiff file types, OS won't launch the Windows Picture and Fax Viewerafter the .tif or .tiff file is saved by the Microsoft Office Document Imaging Writer.

So a workaround is to use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default program for the .tif and .tiff file types.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Hi Mike,

>Anyway how can I set the default viewer (for mdi) on a XP OS?

Right click on a .mdi file and choose Open With -> Choose Program. In the Open With dialog, select Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in the list and select the checkbox before the option of "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
