Does anyone know where the .exe for this program resides in XP? Thanks.
 
It has no .exe, it's just a .dll

\Windows\system32\shimgvw.dll

It is executed by rundll32.exe. In case you are looking for that, the default shell open command of picture files in the registry would look like:

rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll ImageView_Fullscreen %1
 
Geez, no wonder I couldn't find it. :confused:

I wanted to link it to my scanner program. I guess I can try to dig up Infraview again. Thanks.
 
Yoyo. How do I unregister the Windows picture and faxviewer?
 
Is this what you want?

Turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the Default Image Viewer

You can also change the file associations for the specific file types you want.
1. Open the Windows Explorer
2. Go to Tools / Folder Options / File Types
3. Scroll down to the extension you want to change
4. Click on the Change button
5. Select the program you want to associate with that extension
6. Click on the OK button
If the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is set as the default for many of your graphic file types,
you can remove it so other graphics programs can be used.
1. Run Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / SystemFileAssociations / image / ShellEx / ContextMenuHandlers
3. Delete the key ShellImagePreview
 
Good to hear it worked.............it did work didn't it??? I haven't tried it yet. :D
 
Well I didnt delete it, but I cleared its value and that did the trick.
 
You can also go to Start - Run - Type in regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll to disable it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
