When opening my email i seemed to only view the pictures in the above format please can you tell me how to turn it off. I have only just purchased this computer and am still getting to the feel around it.

1. Run Regedit 
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / SystemFileAssociations / image / ShellEx / ContextMenuHandlers 
3. Delete or rename the key ShellImagePreview

This is arguably Windows most annoying so called feature. It is possible to get rid 
of it you must go onto the menu bar of any folder and then to "folder option" and 
click the "file types" tab and there will be a list of file extensions select the 
one you want to change click the change button and select the program you want to 
use, if you do not see the right program listed you will have to click "browse" to 
find it yourself. 
Here is a list of extension you might want to change:

.gif
.jpeg
Other less common ones include:
.ani
.cur
.dib
.ico
.jfif
.jpg

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.

Except this doesn't work. Not for BMP anyway, since the "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is disabled and can't be chosen!
