Right now, when I right-click on a PNG or JPG, I get the Edit context menu which takes me to MSPaint. How can I associate the Paint.NET with the Edit menu?

I've tried Tools/Folder Options/File Types, but I don't really see anything there.

Note that it says to click Advanced, but I don't see the Advanced button. Also, the caption does not even refer to the right file type, so something is clearly corrupted. I am seeing the same issue with the JPG entry.

Tools > Folder Options > File Types is the right place.

Find JPG/PNG in the list of extensions and then you'll see the Details for 'JPG/PNG' extension filled in below.

There's an "Open's with" label and icon + a button marked "Change...". This is for opening/viewing. Click on the "Advanced" button to get a dialog for the different options - edit, open and printto.

Select "edit" then the "Edit..." button. Browse to MSPaint. Don't forget to ensure that there's the "%1" (including quotes) after the exe to ensure that the file gets passed correctly.
