When I try to open an image using the right click, open with, select a
program function, Vista doesn't offer me my Photoshop. I browse for it and
click on the program exe and click ok and then it's still not there. I can
start Photoshop and open the file, but I'd like to be able to right click a
picture and use the "open with" feature.

Is there some compatibility or security setting I have to change?

What you need to change is the newsgroup you have posted to, this one is for
Microsoft Access. You could try microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
which seems to have a lot of knowledgeable people on it.

Well that makes sense. I thought access referred to access to pograms.
