Hi Leo,

This is documented in Microsoft KB article # 260151
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;260151
IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry.
Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that
you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For
information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry

SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Photo Editor, you receive the following error
message:

No file format information can be found in the Registry.
When you click OK, Photo Editor starts. However, if you try to open a
graphics file, such as a bitmap (.bmp) or a Windows Metafile (.wmf), you
receive the following error message

Photo Editor cannot find or open file name
where file name is the path and file name of the file that you are trying
to open.
CAUSE
Photo Editor is trying to access registry keys that require permissions
that your account does not have. In this case, information needed to build
the Files of type list and to open graphics files is not available.

The problem can occur on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Microsoft
Windows 2000 Professional, and Microsoft Windows XP.

WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

WARNING: After you implement the following workaround, members of the Users
group can change any subkeys and values for the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mic rosoft\Shared
Tools\Graphics Filters

For Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Microsoft Windows 2000
Log on to Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 by using an account that is a
member of the administrators group.
Click Start and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedt32.exe and then click OK.
In the Registry Editor, select the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters

On the Security menu, click Permissions.
In the Registry Key Permissions dialog box, in the Name list, click Users.
In the Permissions list, under Allow, click to select Full Control.
Click OK.
On the Registry menu, click Exit.
NOTE: You can apply a slightly more restrictive set of permissions to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters key by
clicking Advanced in the Permissions for Graphics Filters dialog box.

Minimum permissions are required to allow the following actions:
Query value
Set value
Create subkey
Enumerate subkeys
Notify
Create Link
Write DAC
Write Owner
Read control
In a Microsoft Windows 2000 enterprise, you can set registry permissions
via Group Policies in Active Directory Users and Computers, if the clients
are running Windows 2000.

For additional information about Windows 2000 Group Policies, see the
Windows 2000 Resource Kit at the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...pters/dsec/dse
c_pol_zbgy.asp

For Microsoft Windows XP
Log on as administrator or as a member of the administrators group.
Click Start and then click Run. In the Open box, type Regedit.exe.
Select the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters

On the Edit menu, click Permissions and then click Advanced.
Verify that the Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to
child objects check box is selected.
Select Users from Permission entries, and then click Edit.
In the Allow column, select the Full Control check box, and then click OK.
Click OK and close the Registry Editor.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products
that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The default permissions that are assigned to the relevant registry keys
differ between Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, making it more likely that
this issue will occur with Windows 2000.

The first post-Windows 2000 product release (Office 2000 SR-1) carries the
following disclaimer:
Note: Microsoft Photo Editor is a minor auxiliary application that does not
meet the requirements of the Windows 2000 Logo compliant program. Core
Microsoft Office applications do not depend on this application for their
functionality.

If you only need a graphics file viewer, you can use other components of
Office 2000 (Word, PowerPoint, Clip Gallery), Microsoft Internet Explorer,
or Microsoft Paint to view graphics files.

Please let me know has this helped You...

Thank You...
