When I double click on a photo the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it
works; however something removed it from the listing under the
Start/Program feature. I used the Search feature and nothing was
found. I would like to have it
restored for other features

===============================
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is not
normally listed under Start / All Programs.
Why? Because it is not a program...it is
simply a viewer called up by selecting
an image file. The basis of the viewer is
the shimgvw.dll file.
You can create a shortcut if you wish by
using the following steps:
Right click your desktop and from the menu...
choose...New / Shortcut...
In the "Type the location of the item" field...
type or copy/paste the following:
rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
Click the...Next...button.
Enter a name for your shortcut...WP&FV...
for example...
Click Finish.
Now...clicking this shortcut will open a blank
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer screen.
You can drag/drop a copy on your Start Menu
if you wish.
Just wondering why you need this option?
