Default MS Paint - any way to open multiple images at once?

Thanks for the replies, everyone. First off, boy, do I ever know that there are better apps out there than MS Paint. I have several, indeed, at home.. However, at work there are 2 issues: 1. We're not allowed to bring in 3rd party apps. 2. Even if we could, the registry is locked down so we couldn't install it either. (and 3. Even if I snuck in a 3rd party portable application to get around 1. and 2. above, if I got caught ... nah, not worth it).

MS Paint does very well for the work screenshot tutorials I seem to write quite frequently at work. However, the opening of multiple files at once to do that work is TEDIOUS! Ugh. Anyway, the last bat file sounds like a great solution if it works. I put a shortcut in SendTo as one of the workarounds I tried to do but MS Paint just won't open more than 1 file at once. So having something to intercept 15-20 images at once and then get Paint to open them would be grand. I'll give it a try.

Thx!
