Hi Alession,
Asociated operations are stored in registry. API functions ShellOpen(), ShellOpenEx() etc. read these informations from registry.
Operations can be Open, Edit, New, Print... etc. Check in Explorere how asoc. operations are in shortcut menu for the file (Open, Edit).
I mean so Edit is not defined or is defined bad in registry for application Paint.Picture
