While C:\Windows\Kodakimg.exe is a great editor, if you just want to preview, then go Right-Click on a *.jpg or a *.gif file and set it to C:\Windows\Kodakprv.exe. Once this opens up, you will have the opportunity to Edit using the bigger family member of the C:\Windows\Kodakimg.exe, (but don't set it as the default as it takes just a smidgen of time more to load for each photo). However, I'm like you. I want the quick "Next and Previous" Feature of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. So, I'm toying with trying to get it to work. You might search the web to find: C:\Windows\system32\shimgvw.dll As the "shimgvw.dll" is the key, but apparently it needs a library helper file (and so far I haven't gotten it to work)... I'll post what I've done so far, and maybe someone can see clearly what needs to be done for it the Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer to work in Windows 98. You can create a text file with the extension *.reg and place this text inside, and double click on the file. It's hard to read as there are no line breaks in this Post... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\Open\command] @="rundll32.exe C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\Open\ddeexec] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\Open\ddeexec\Application] @="shimgvw" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\Open\ddeexec\Topic] @="System" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * You will need the Windows XP shimgvw.dll file and some other Library file, (rundll32.exe) - {both located at C:\Windows\System32}.
