Change Windows 7 explorer "Edit" context menu action for jpg and other image file types

Change Windows 7 explorer "Edit" context menu action for jpg and other image file types When I right click on a jpg file in Windows Explorer (Windows 7), I see that there is an "Edit" menu item. If I click this item, it opens the image in MSPaint. Blah. I have Paint.NET installed, and I'd like to change the "Edit" action to open the image in Paint.NET.

I found this little program while surfing the web: Default Programs Editor. I think it is able to do what you want.

"Hey just thought i would chuck this in since this page proved useful. i have been trying to change the EDIT function to point to Notepad ++ rather than Notepad for .txt files for a while now. Its under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command registry key, just point it to your desired text editor.
