    in teh start menu, on the right side, below control panel there is a menu option called "default programs" click that

    paint should be in there, when you select it you will have two options:

    1. Set this program as default

    2. Choose defaults for this program

    select number two, then uncheck everything but .BMP and click save

    What app were you using for image editing before you changed it?
