Hi Nancy,

It is a .dll not an .exe (shimgvw.dll)

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