How do I control which picture editor the picture/fax viewer opens

[LeeP]

I installed paint.net, now the Windows Picture/Fax viewer opens that program
when I hit Ctrl-E (open picture for editing) It used to open the Office
Picture Manager, and I want that back. I dont want to remove paint.net, but
I dont want it to be the default editor.

Many thanks
