I also suggest you use Irfan View for opening any image file. It is a small, free program and it loads in a fraction of the time IE takes to load.

Anyway, why use IE, GO MOZILLA!

An easier way to reassociate a file is to hold the Shift key while you right-click. This forces the 'Open With...' option to appear on the menu. Of course that wouldn't have helped you, since you didn't have the necessary program installed.
