Problem with right click 'open with' menu and images

Hi,I just wondered if anyone could help me with a problem I have when using the right click menu on images in 32 bit Vista.
Basically here's the problem....
When I right click on an image in Windows Photo Gallery I get the following 'open with' options.....


But.... When I right click on an image anywhere else on my PC (for example the desktop),the 'open with' menu looks like this.....



My question is how do I fix this right click 'open with' menu so that it has the same options I get when I right click on an image in Windows Photo Gallery ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
