hi,
If you right click on the photo and click "open with" the OS will show you what other programs you have available to open the pic with ... often times you will find programs you didn't even know were there, from Office right down to Paint. Most viewers and browsers have basic editing capabilities and if you have a scanner or dvd or digital camera, look at the disks that came with the hardware, often there are viewer/editing programs included on those.
The program I use most of the time is: Serif PhotoPlus 6.0 as it came bundled with something I bought ... more than basic but not photoshop .... but best of all FREE
for me at least.
Keep Smilin'

PS ... I'm sure, if you look into the preferences page of your Kodak software there will be settings you can make to prevent it from grabbing everything else. This is a very common ploy for both video and audio viewer/player software and if you look into the setup/preferences you should be able to rein in the scope of the program.
PPS "Open Office Suite" is a good alternative for Office ... compatible with office but free.
