Turning off Microsoft Paint as a default image viewer

In error I made Paint on our Windows 7 PC the default program and now it opens, even when viewing photos from emails, and everything else I try to do with pictures. How can I either stop or turn off the default action or just make it appear when I want it to?William Jaques, by

Go to the Start button and select Default Programs. Click ‘Set your default program’ and if your preferred image viewing or editing program is on the list, select it and click ‘Set as default’. If it isn’t there click ‘Associate a file type…’ scroll down the list to find the image format you use most often (usually jpeg), click Change Program and select the program that you want to use, or click the Browse button if it is not displayed.
