How do I turn off the integrated photo viewer?

I'm much rather use ACDSee for photo viewing, printing, and resizing. I installed it but the integrated photo viewer still opens up when I double click on an image file dispite all associations linking to ACDSee. What the hell? :(...

Here's what I did:

Open Explorer, click Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types
now find the extension of the file you want your own program to open
select it and press delete

then close folder options and double click on an image of the type you just changed and it should ask you what program you would like to use to open it. Select your program from the list or click Browse and find it.

When you installed ACDSee, you were supposed to pick to change the file types to open with ACDSee...it's part of the install. By the way, 4.0 works great under XP.
