Just change it through Folder Options -> File Types.

You could also use assoc from the command line. If you must edit the
registry then look around in;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.bmp

Also note HKCU customizations will have presedence over HKLM

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts

Try HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\shell\open\command
edit (Default) to mspaint.exe %1
FILE>EXPORT
Current branch
Pick a filename that ends in .reg
Run: regedit /s <THE FILE NAME> on each computer. Restart each computer.
I am not good at remote execution, so you have to figure out how to run
the command on each computer.
