No fix, but a workaround. This will unassociate image files from the pic&fax editor 
and associate them with photoshop.

1. copy the stuff between the *** into a textfile, save as image.reg:
***
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\ShellImagePreview]




[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop 7.0\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file\shell\print]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bmp_auto_file\shell\print\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop 7.0\\Photoshop.exe -p %1"
***

2. Edit the path to photoshop.exe so it points to the right location on your harddisk

3. copy the part with the bmp_auto_file entries and replace bmp with gif, jpg, etc.

4. Put the reg-file in your startup folder

.
