image preview on right click - not picaview

[AndyFlashREMOVE]

Hi all.

I have been using XP Pro for a while now and generally install
picaview so that I can right-click image and media files in explorer
and preview them.

Last week I blew away my Laptop's XP and reinstalled XP Pro, SP2 and
Office 2003.

I noticed that I am able to preview images using right-click even
though I haven't installed Picaview. I don't know which program is
allowing me to see these previews. There is no program id shown on the
preview section of the right-click context menu.

Does anyone want to have a guess at which program from XP Pro or
Office 2003 is allowing me to see this preview on the right-click menu
popup?

The reason I want to find out is so that I can disable this function.
I prefer to see this image preview with picaview as it also allows me
to preview media files like MP3, MPG.

While looking for an answer, I notice people claiming that Picaview2
doesn't work with xp after SP2 has been applied. It works on my other
machine just fine with XP Pro and SP2.

ShellExView should help you determine the shell extension for preview.

Hi Ramesh.

Thanks for that. ShellExView helped me identify the program and
disable its "context menu" feature.

What a great little utility.
