I run Windows XP Professional, and have made Microsoft Photo Editor my default image editor. I do not wish to change this. Until recently when I installed Photoshop CS3, I could preview any image file in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer by right-clicking and selecting Preview. Now, however, attempting to preview a .bmp file launches Photoshop CS3 (.jpg and .gif files still preview in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer). I do not want this. How can I restore the status quo, so that I can Preview .bmp files in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?

Right click on any .bmp file and select "Choose Default Program" and then select the program you want to use. MAke sure you check the "Always use this program" box.

Thanks, George. When I right click on any .bmp file "Choose Default Program" does not appear in the context menu.

I believe George meant to say right click on your file then click on "Open With" then select "Choose Program", and don't forget to check the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
