Windows Picture & Fax Viewer

[Bill]

I have Windows XP Home Edition on my laptop, which includes the really cool
Windows Picture & Fax Viewer - which opens when you click on a supported
picture file such as .jpg. You can then increment forward or backward in
the folder containing this file - if the other files are pictures - or
initiate a slide show.

I am still running Windows 2000 Pro on my desktop. It also has a Picture
Viewer, but it does not include the forward / backward increment or
slideshow capabilities.

Is there any way I can identify the viewer's program files in XP and
install them on 2000 and expect it to work?

Consider installing instead a wonderful FREE viewer that does that - and a
whole lot more...

Hi, Bill:

Unfortunately, Picture and Fax Viewer is only designed for Windows XP, not
Windows 2000.

For Windows 2000 you may use a third party picture viewer, such as Irfanview
(http://www.irfanview.com/).

I'll chime in with the others and recommend Irfanview, which is better than
the XP viewer.If I were in your shoes, I'd install it on both machines.
