TIA, Sam Hagen The following command should launch a blank Windows Picture And Fax Viewer screen. It will say: No Preview Available. rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscre en (Gleaned from the discussion at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...8-d1da87ab7093 -- Joe =o) |

You use rundll32.exe to call (run) those methods by their entry point (export) name. |

And there's Ifranview, XnView, Zoner Photo Studio Free, and lots of other free file viewers. I used to have both IrfanView and XnView but eventually removed XnView (but it's been too long to remember why I preferred IrfanView). A Gizmo review of some of them is he http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...election_Guide Looks like the OP was focusing on the viewer already included in Windows rather than having to install more software. The 3rd party solutions are more potent yet some users want simplicity over features they don't want or probably won't use. You could use GIMP as an image viewer but that's excessive when you want just a small & fast viewer. The OP didn't state for what purpose, personal or business, he wants a file viewer. For personal or educational (student) use, Faststone Image Viewer is free. For non-personal and non-educational. See: http://www.faststone.org/order.htm The same limitations for use of IrfanView and XnView. Never used Zoner stuff so I can't comment on their licensing. |
