Everyone has there favorite image viewer. My own is (free) FastStone 
Image Viewer. You can set it as the "owner" of common image formats then 
in Settings-Programs set program to "gimp-win-remote" (browse to it in 
your Program Filers/Gimp folder) then set parameters to : gimp-2.4.exe 
(filename)

Now when ever an image is displayed in FastStone keyboard "E" will open 
the file in Gimp (starting Gimp if its not yet open)
