John -
Don't know what method you used to set the file association. I suspect
the CS3 and CS5 executables have the same name and Windows is pointed
down the path to the CS3 file. If you didn't set the association the
following way, it's worth a try...
In Windows Explorer, right click a jpg file, then select "Open With..."
You will get a list of choices.
At the bottom of the list select "Choose default program".
Another box will open with another list of programs.
Select Bridge CS5 if it's there, otherwise you can browse to it and
select it.
Be sure to tick the box by "Always use this program to open this kind of
file".
OTOH, even though I use PSE and LR if I just want to look at an image to
see if I want to use it I don't really need to open up any heavy-duty
software. I just open it quickly in Windows Photo Viewer. If it's OK
that's good. If it needs work, that's when the more robust program
comes into play.
Or you may just want to go with Bob's suggestion and get rid of CS3.

I needed to look at a JPEG file I'd created, so I could determine if
it would suit a purpose I wanted to use it for. Having located it with
Windoze search, and noting that it was an Adobe Bridge file, I double
clicked it to open Bridge.
When I installed CS5, I left the CS3 installation intact. JPEG files
are apparently still associated with Bridge CS3.
When I double click a JPEG, it opens Bridge CS3. And with Bridge CS3
open, any files I open with Photoshop from Bridge CS3 open with
Photoshop CS3.
So I went into Windoze and changed the file association for JPEG files
to Bridge CS5.
When I tested it, it's still opening them with Bridge CS3.
I even tried changing the association to a completely different
program, the Paint program that comes with Windoze, rebooted and then
changed it to Bridge CS5 and rebooted again.
It's still opening with Bridge CS3.
Any ideas?
