I can't open any photo

I format somedays ago my HD and re-install Windows 98SE: . I re-install
also my scanner HP with the relative software; Now if i try to open a
picture clicking directly from the file(photo) i can't. open.
All the picture file (jpeg,jpg,bmp and all the format picture)are pointing
to a strange Adobe software that i don't have installed in my PC.I need to
open Windows Imaging and manually open the file.
What i have wrong in my Windows?
How can solve this strange behavior?
