windows explorer view of the S7 strange

I am running Windows 7 Pro and have a new Samsung S7 phone. when I connect the phone to my usb port I see a new "drive" within windows explorer. So far so good. I open it up and see my SD card, open that up and note my DCIM folder and underneath that a sub-folder with a bunch of pictures I put on the SD card. Still good. But the right context menu is not what I expect. And when I click on a JPG file, instead of opening in my default picture program, it opens up in Window's viewer instead. And none of the normal right click menu items are there.

If I try to delete a file from within the phone (not from the pc) it won't let me without giving permissions to the photo app I use (Quickpic). but it has permission to the sd card already. So it looks like if I want to mess around with photos on the sd card, I have to first pull the card from the phone.

Any thoughts on this? Is it "normal"?
