Thanks, that did work, but I also wanted to do this for other several file
types (jpeg was an example).

Surely there is a way without delving into the registry?

Glad this worked for you.

There is no other way to change this behavior, that I'm aware of, unless a
programs installer configures it during installation.

I have windows XP -- How do I stop Photoshop from being the default program
for opening any picture file?

Right-click on a picture file and choose "Open With", choose your
application, and make sure that the box "Always open...." at the bottom is
checked.
BTW, this is a VISTA group, not an XP one. As in the title....

You will need to set these preferences in the Bridge component of Photoshop.
These settings override the Windows Explorer settings.

have set my default for opening a picture (L- doubleclicking the picture
or R-clicking it and choosing in the menu *Open*) with ACDSee. I also
*do not want* to Edit the picture with the ACDSee editing program. So
now choosing edit will Edit the program with Paint unless I'm inside the
ACDSee image browser, than it will open with the ACDSee 's incorporated
editing program (that sucks). So I changed my standard Editing program
inside ACDSee to open with FotoCanvas. I will now edit my registry so
that when I R-click an image and choose Edit, when I'm *not* inside my
ACDSee picture browser it will open with FotoCanvas instead of Paint.
