Although you have not said I will presume you are a windows user and that you have MS Paint installed on your PC.

Now Paint will open BMP, JPG, Gif, Tif and a whole range of pictures on your PC.

However, I must warn you that there is currently a security issue involving pictures with *.wmf extensions, there is a security hole that will allow hackers to get into your PC, at the moment there is no patch for this security flaw.

Anyway, what you need to do is make sure that various picture extensions are associated with Paint, so do the following:

a) Go into Windows Explorer and right click your mouse on the file you want to open.

b) Choose "Open With" on the sub-menu that appears.

c) Choose the application you want to open the file with, as shown in the screen print below, and insure that the box marked "Always use the selected program......." is ticked then click the "OK" button.

d) Repeat a) - c) for each picture you want Paint to open that has a different extension.

You will only need to do this operation once per picture extension.

Hope this helps
