Provide an 'Edit with Paint' context option on right-clicking a picture file
This is a feature I have wanted since Windows XP, and would save me a great deal of frustration;
Instead, I need to right-click a file, and select 'Open With', then browse for paint, if it hasn't been used yet.
There are a great deal of situations where this is productive, though in particular if I need to open an image file, while having an 'Open with' window open for another application.
An alternative solution would be an 'open file location' right-click context option, that opens the folder the file is in, such that I can use the file from the file explorer, though admittedly this is a lot more time-consuming b/c it will require closing the file explorer.
An EVEN BETTER solution, would be to provide customization of the context options provided by right-click for all file extensions, but I am looking to open picture files in paint predominantly, because I have to edit images frequently while I am in a word document.

You can customize the context menu to include 'Open with' or even add your custom commands for specific extensions (like .jpg, .png). This can be done through registry edits or third-party tools, but it requires some technical know-how.

Would really like the double click to open the image in MS Paint!
