How about this,

RichTextBox property "DragMode" = vbManual.
And you copy and paste your picture on this RichTextBox.
And then you double click THE SHORT CUT of your picture.
If the file name extensions of your picture (gif, jpg, bmp etc...) are
registered with your operating system, an associated program will
automatically open such as Internet Explore or Adobe Photo Shop etc...

Or, you write source code on RichTextBox1_DblClick() event,

Private Sub RichTextBox1_DblClick()
  Dim RetVal
  'RetVal = Shell("%SystemRoot%\System32\mspaint.exe", 1)
  RetVal = Shell("c:\winnt\System32\mspaint.exe c:\winnt\Coffee Bean.bmp",
1)
End Sub

I hope that is what you want.
