Run regedit Change the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command to be the photoeditor you prefer. For example, I changed mine from "%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\Photoed.exe" "%1" close regedit. It just works.
