You need to change your .jpg file association.

1 Single-click a .jpg file.

2 Hold the Shift key while right-clicking the file.

3 Select "Open With..."

4 Select a program.

5 Place a check mark next to "Always use this program to open this type of file" if you want to 6 permanently change its file association Otherwise, this will be a one-time solution.

7 Click OK.

I hope this helps.
