Is Contol Panel, Folder Options, File Types enough of a clue?
Also (command-line): assoc /? and ftype /?

Otherwise manual registry edits. Not my first recommendation, but post
for more if you like.

Open up a Command Prompt and type:

assoc .jpg (Note the space after "assoc", and the period
before "jpg")

Compare the association for JPG files between the
administrator and non-administrator accounts. Chances
are the app that's associated with JPG files on the
non-admin accounts doesn't recognize this format.

To associate JPG files with another application, right-click
on a JPG file in Explorer and select "Open With", then
choose the same application as the admin account.
