What do you mean?
When you execute the program it opens up microsoft paint and displays your picture or something?

That's a non-trivial program that involves working with the different image file formats (wotsit.org is your friend) and drawing them accordingly using a non-standard graphics library. As such, your question is far too broad for us to help with. Be more specific.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

If this means "yes. it has to open the file in mspaint", a quick, easy, but dirty way is to use

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int main()
{
	system("mspaint filename.bmp");// filename.bmp is the image file name
	return 0;
}
int main()
{
	system("mspaint filename.bmp");// filename.bmp is the image file name
	return 0;
}

in windows.
