File association problem

Kodak Easy Share (avoid at all cost) which came bundled with my
camera (and is a piece of ****) has screwed up my file associations.

Windows ME.

I tried to reset the association for .BMP back to MSPaint. I do that,
a look at the properties for a .bmp file says it opens with Paint,
but double clicking on a .BMP file brings up the OpenWith dialog.

Checking the box with "Always use this program to open these files"
has no effect.

In the FileTypes dialog, when BMP is highlighted I see the following
message: "You have customized files with extension 'BMP'. To restore these
files to their default type (EasyShare bmp), click Restore."

The file type cannot be deleted.

Help!

I have ACDSee with my Pentax camera.......and yes, it opens most of my
photos. Not entirely a bad thing. But.....I just checked it and have a
look in Easy Share under Options I imagine......and see if File Extensions
is there. Untick the BMP one......and any others. Just a WAG, really.

Cheers.....Heather
