There is a non-invasive way (no regedit involved) to change your preferred image viewer - In my case, I want to use ACDSee to view my images instead of Microsoft Picture viewer.

I right click on an image, select "Open With" then "Choose Program." From the list of software, I select the program I want and check off "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." Now when I double-click on an image it doesn't preview in Microsoft's picture viewer, instead it opens in my preferred image viewer.
