default image viewer

When I switched to XP all the images I save, gif and jpeg, are being saved as
a word document even though it shows they are being saved as the correct file
ext. I went into folder options and set those type files to open with IE but
they are still being saved as a Word document. When I open the "open with
list" the "always open with" box is grayed out. Does anyone have any
suggesstions on how I can get those file types to stop saving as a Word
document?

Thanks, BJ
