Make sure that your registry has the following keys:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\mspaint.exe\shell\o pen]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\mspaint.exe\shell\o pen\command]
@=hex(2):22,00,25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00 ,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00 ,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,\
73,00,70,00,61,00,69,00,6e,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78 ,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,22,\
00,25,00,31,00,22,00,00,00
If the key is missing, and I believe it is by default, that will cause
the error. If you like, you can paste the above lines into Notepad,
save as REG file (e.g. MSPAINT.REG) and then double click the reg file
to apply.
If you look via regedit, the above hex data should appear as
"%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1"
