Default JPG/BMP/ETC Defaults?

I had to download software for a digital camera, but it killed almost ALL my
image settings and switched it to that of the camera (which was really
annoying because the icons were ALL THE SAME), so I uninstalled the camera to
see if the defaults would come back, and they didn't, now I just can't open
JPGs, BMPs, and GIFs... but like... is there a way I can restore the default
settings, because it'd be nice to be able to open images without going
through photoshop... it gets tiring.

Reinstall the program that you previously used to view photos. If you used
IE, download this freebie:

Irfanview: A very good freeware graphics viewer: http://www.irfanview.com/

Yeeeah, but will Irfanview give me different icons for the different image
types? There's a bunch of different image things I could do, but what's
annoying is that they ALL look the same. Like before, the BMP images were the.
..I think Paint icon, but it isn't anymore, so whatever I install for images,
it'll look the same as what I have for JPG, and I NEED them to be different.

I don't recall what Irfanview does--give it a shot and find out. If the
icons are not satisfactory, assign the icons of your choice to the various
photo file types. To do so, open Explorer, click view, folder options and
the file types tab. Scroll to a format (.gif for example), double click it
and use the change icon button.
