If you do not have 3rd party software that you use for pictures, Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer is what should be associated with .bmp, .gif and .jpg
files.

To associate a file with a program

To change the program that opens a file

To associate a file name extension with a file type

Make sure that you have the correct version of TweakUI.
