Another user posted the following reply back in Feb, if you don?? want to miss with the registry, you may have to keep paint opened in the background while you insert.
Insert - Object
We always use BMP files, Pro/E (WF3) uncompresses the jpegs anyways.
Also found that the windows registry must have HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp (default) = Paint.Picture
