Windows Picture viewer as default

[garrusvakarian]

I did a clean new install of Windows 10(no update from 7 or 8) and I really miss the Windows Picture viewer.
If I rightclick on a jpg file it isnt available as an option as an default program, but If I rightclick on a NEF file(Nikon raw file) I'm able to choose it as a default app.
The pciture viewer's exe file is located in the system32 folder as dllhost.exe, but it isnt possible to just start the exe file.

So how do I get the pciture viewer to be available in the option to choose default program for jpg?

You need to enable it via the registry.
