cant open downloads

[Samiam123]

Have hp pavilion with vista. When I scan a document it goes to windows internet explorer and I cant open it. I can drag it to an email and then open it but not before. How do I fix it so I can open it right away?

Doesn't your scanner come with software to edit and save your scans (to wherever you want)? A web browser would only be initialised if you selected it to open files of that type or you have no default program for opening the scanned files. You should select to save your scans to a common format such as .jpg
