Thanks Fay for your reply, but I have resolved my problem by removing MS Imager from
the "open with" menu and resetting the gif, jpg and bmp as "always use this program
to open this type of file" in the "open with" menu for my image files. It worked,
and all my files can be opened with the MS Explorer program, and they have their
respective icons.
