Changing Default image viewer for Internet Explorer

Trying to change the behavior of InternetExplorer IE when you
click on a link that points directly to an image...


For example this is the specific scenario:


    This link: http://whatever.com/image.jpg


When you click on this, IE's default behavior is to open up the
image in a browser window...


We instead would like it to open up the image in say, microsoft
picture editor for example or paint.exe, or paintshop, or whatever
we specify.


Do you know of a registry setting or other way to change this
behavior ? 

best regards,
