Paint!
If you're not confident about editing the registry, get someone to assist you.
Make sure that there are no instances of MSPaint running. Then go to Start, Run and then type: regedit Locate this key in your registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt Version\Applets\Paint Click on that key and delete it. Exit the registry editor and re-open Paint. Note you can save the registry key first by: On the File menu, click Export. In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save. Or create a system restore point prior to editing. Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going edit new. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;322756 HOW TO: Back Up, Edit, and Restore the Registry in Windows XP Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
