===================================
I don't think you can create a shortcut because
it's not a program...it's a .dll file.

Here's an article that refers to WinME but
the info about shimgvw.dll should still apply.

This is correct, you can't create a shortcut to the Windows Picture & Fax
Viewer, it's actually using the .dll through internet explorer shell.
