Super Fast Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You need Windows XP Shimgvw.dll & the .reg file listed below. Reg file includes support for .BMP/.GIF/.JPG/.PNG/.TIF & the correct default icons for each. _________________________ Copy & Paste everything between (Start) & (End) into a new .reg File. __________(Start)__________ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers] "C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe"="VISTARTM" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers] "C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe"="VISTARTM" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.BMP] @="BMPImage.Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BMPImage.Document\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-70" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BMPImage.Document\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.GIF] @="GIFImage.Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GIFImage.Document\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-71" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GIFImage.Document\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.JPG] @="JPGImage.Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JPGImage.Document\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-72" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JPGImage.Document\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.PNG] @="PNGImage.Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PNGImage.Document\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-83" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PNGImage.Document\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.TIF] @="TIFImage.Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TIFImage.Document\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-70" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TIFImage.Document\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1" __________(END)__________ Drop shimgvw.dll into C:\Windows. Then, right-click the registry file & choose merge. Image viewer should work for all user accounts. _________________________ Vista users: Replace both occurrences of VISTARTM with WINXPSP2 & use that to merge. _________________________ *Updated 1/20/2012: Reg file reduced to minimum & 75% smaller/Now uses system32 rundll32.exe/Vista support added. What does XP Image viewer do that Windows Vista/7 doesn't? -> Smoothly enlarges pictures, animates GIF files, allows TIF edit.

Super Fast Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Edit: Anyone know a good installer program to use? I am trying to make W7 installer that blocks attempted installs to Vista or older OS, since it won't work with those settings. Same for the Vista version. Thanks!
