Click on Tools -> Folder Options and goto File Types tab and select the filetype, which u want to open with Windows default Image viewer, like BMP, JPG, GIF, etc. (Select one by one and do the following):

Click on Advanced button and select Open in Actions section and click on Edit button. Then change the text in Application used to perform action with following:

Code:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1

Now u should be able to open the image files using image viewer.
