hi,
you can use process.start in system.diagnostics namespace
System.Diagnostics.
Process.Start("msPaint.exe",@"C:\Mypicture.bmp");but note i have a problem with the path if the folder name in the path contain spaces it will not work with paint brush, it works with other programs like notepad. example "documents and setttings", i don't know how to deal with that and i hope if someone can comment on that
hope this helps

Probably you can use short type of folder names like in DOS. For example Documents and Settings would be Docume~1. About starting the default application associatated with some file extension, it is done automatically. If you start the picture file, then the associated application will be started.
For example Process.Start(@"C:\picture.jpg");
