Two instances of Picture and Fax Viewer

[Anders F]

Is it possible to start two instances of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?
I do not do much picture handling but I would like to be able to compare
two pictures. If I could just open two instances of explorer and then
start one instance of WPFV from each it would be perfect.

I have IrfanView and it would be perfect if it did not change size with the
size of the picture. WPFV is perfect for my purpose, it stays in place and
the quality of the resized picture is, as far as I can judge, excellent.

Thanks for any answer

rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1 will open pictures

%1 is either a file or folder name. If a folder name the first file will be
displayed. Note first file not first picture file.

If the first file isn't a picture then you'll see No Preview Available. You
can use the Next/Previous buttons to cycle through all files in a folder.
Does not accept wildcards.

Thanks but it does not work, I still can not get more then 1 instance.

(I thought it would be Fullscreen but it is not)

Why not open two instances of the "My Pictures" folder, set each to
Filmstrip view, and position the windows next to each other? This would
allow a comparison of files, and the picture would always be within the
confines of the Explorer window.

Thanks, it works OK although there is a lot of stationary (bars et
cetera) that I would like to get rid of.
