We need a very detailed description of how you have registered your application so that it appears in Windows Explorer Windows, or on the Desktop, context-click "Open-With" Menu.

And we need to know exactly what error message is shown, and when is it shown: when the user selects a picture on the Desktop, and the chooses your application to open it with: does your application even open ?
