There isn't an executable; the program is called by a .dll.

Thanks Malke --

The situation I have is that I have an Access Database that contains a path
requirement for an image vier program. I'd like to use Windows Pic & Fax
Viewer, if possible. Will a .dll based program run by specifying the path?
If so, what is the path.

I don't believe this is going to work for you. You might want to specify
a viewer like Irfanview instead since it is a very nice, free, and
capable image viewer with a small footprint.

Try this:

c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll

(notice space between rundll32.exe and shimgvw.dll)
 
This will only one image at a time...

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\My Documents\My Pictures\Assorted

The command line concerned is
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
where it appears in a file association in registry. %1 being the place
holder for a file name. But I have not had good results trying to use
that in a shortcut

DDE settings, if of interest, can be

message - left blank;
application - shimgvw
Application not running - left blank
Topic - System
 
This works as a shortcut to cia_seal_06.jpg for me. I am sure that it will
wrap incorrectly here though.

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
