I have a question about How do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?:

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

Windows 98 had what most people consider to be a superior viewer (it has a fit-to-width option for example). Find it in C:\WINDOWS\KODAKIMG.EXE. To make it your default, find a .tif file in explorer, use shift-right-click and select "open with"; point to the Kodakimg.exe program and tick the option to always use this program.

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.

Did you ever get the viewer to work in Windows 98?

Hi, I think I have found a simple solution for those users on win98/200 wishing to 
have windows xp picture viewer.  Its a program caleld XPicture 1.5, download it from 
this link.  Has the look and feel of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer without alot 
of registry modding.

Hope this helps some people
