Process.Start(Picture and Fax Viewer)?

[Dean Slindee]

Regardless of how a user may have image files associated with viewers, I
would like to hardwire a call to the Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer from
my application. Anyone know how to format the Process.Start() statement(s)
to accomplish this with the shimgvw.dll? My best guess is below, but it
does not work.
Dim proc As New Process

proc = Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe",
"C:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen C:\image.bmp")

Thanks,
Dean Slindee

===============================================
I saved the following string from a previous message
and it works for me if I use in in my Run field...maybe
it's what you are looking for:

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
[now add a space and enter the full path to the image file]
