i just installed sp2 today, but i noticed that when i open a picture file it
opens with paintshoppro. before, i liked my pictures to open with windows
picture viewer by default, and if i need to edit the pictures i'd right-click
them and click on open. i thought this could be fixed by right clicking>open
with>choose program..., and then specifiying to use windows picture viewer
all the time with jpg extensions etc. so now images are previewed with the
picture viewer by default, however if i right click them, there is no "open"
selection so i can edit it, there is only an "open with" sub menu i'd have to
go to.

is there a way to have it so that when i right-click a picture, PREVIEW will
be in bold, with OPEN right underneath it? thanks a lot!
