==================
Try this, maybe it will restore the option:
go to...Start / Run and type:
"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)
Click...OK.
A dialog box should report the following:
"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"

More info:
Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.
Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.
If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"
Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)
Also...you can right click an image and choose

you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.
Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
