O.P. Default image editor doesn't change for bmp

Hi,

Since M$ Paint just sucks, I changed the default image editor to PSP.
I did this by changing
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command\(default)
to contain the path to the psp executable, followed by "%1" as shown here.
It works fine for JPG and GIF files (haven't tested others yet), but if I want to edit a BMP file, it still opens in paint

anyone here knows why this happens and how to solve it??

thanks in advance
