XP: Windows Stopped Using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer To Preview Pictures
You finally got addicted to XP's built-in picture preview... and now it's gone away? Here is how to redo it.
By default XP uses Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to preview pictures. It takes a while to get used to it; however, once you do, it's hard to go back.
Several programs when installed try to take over the role of picture preview. This is very difficult to reverse. Here's how you do it.
- 1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. In the textbox type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
4. Click OK
You may or may not have to reboot to see your changes.
