changing what program is used?
When I right click a photo and click "edit", I would like for it to use Paint instead of whatever that default program is.
How do I do this?

That doesn't change the defualt edit program, just the program used to open that file type. If I want a .jpg file to open using Windows Live Gallery, but to be edited by Paint, then what?
Other Idea's? Or am I missing something?
In the short-term, use open with.
Since my sys is not "broken, I cannot test this, but see if the file type in question is located here in the registry.

No, this is the key you need:
In my system I have set it to use Paint.NET when I select Edit from the right-click menu.
You will have to adjust this to the program you want. Do this for each filetype (jpegfile, bmpfile etc)
Alternatively, see here:
Change you default audio editing software
I don't actually think it's possible, you'll always have to do it manually, unless u want to view AND edit in Paint, then you can just set Pain as default.
