Gawd, now I am really confused. Just to make sure that we were not
talking past each other I tried to do those two steps above. After
all, I have nothing to lose tweaking two program objects if it means
that I don't have to muck with a gazillion GIF files.

I have two program objects to muck with.

I right click on the PMView icon and select Properties. Under the
Association tab there is a list box for "Current Types" with the
entries: "Bitmap, GIF, IFF, Image File, image/jpeg, JPG, PCX, Photo CD,
Targa, and TIFF." The Assciation tab has a second list box of "Current
names" with the entries: "*.BMP, *.CUR, *.DCX, *.FIT, *.FITS, *.GIF,
*.ICO, *.IFF, *.IMG, *.JPEG, *.JPG, *.LGO, *.MAC, ...., *BMP, and
*PCX."

Before permanently munging the PMView program properties, I go to the
Multimedia folder. I select the viewer by right clicking on the
"Image" icon and select Properties. When the Properties window opens I
only get tabs for "Icon", "Widnow", and "Speech". NO "Program" tab,
NO "Session" tab, and most certainly NO "Association" tab. It seems to
be quite a trick to delete the associations when I am not presented
with that option.
