Thank you
In XP you should be able to go into My Computer Click on tools, folder options and find the file types and use the GUI to change the .bmp to open with whatever app you want

Ms Paint is default program for opening BMP format files. Next best viewer is Windows Fax Viewer, you can change the default program to open such files with help of above two comments. I would support both options :)
I'd recommend installing Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ plus the plugin pack. Totally free and that'll handle 99% of the graphics files you can throw at it.
your question is answered by yourself : you need to open it, and it opens with MSPaint
