Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.
And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
as the result... you can reactivate).
But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.
Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.
How... Disable WP & F Viewer
Click Start / run and enter the following command:
Type or copy/paste...
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
(Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)
Press on... Come in...
(You should see a dialog box indicating:)
DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)
How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer
Click Start / run and enter the following command:
Type or copy/paste...
regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
(Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)
Press on... Come in...
You should see a dialog box stating:
DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll
To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll
If you can't find the path, you must go to...
Button start / Control Panel / folder Options.
See tab /... to check "Show hidden files and folders"...

Hi NewsAru,
Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the next\previous buttons in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
When you try to print an image by using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it would display all available photos in the folder that contains the image you have chosen to print.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer File Extensions
A few moments ago, I finished a session of 3 hours with Techs two, MS on a problem where MSN BING replaced my Google home page and nothing less than a miracle would help. In addition, I just started to get a Google page that asked me to prove that I was a human and a robot entering symbols into a box of CAPTCHCA. Technicians found that my office had acquired a serious virus, unknown name, and finally a level 2 Tech was able to restore Google as my home page. Hooray!
There are some bonus winnings, but now I have a problem I ask your help to deal with the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Until the technicians tried to solve the problem of Google, I was able to put the captions of the photos that I downloaded via a memory card. Then I got the card in the reader and before and after moving them to the folders on my dekstop I could type captions under the photos to replace what was there as IMG_0019.JPG. After I typed everything which, in this case BOLA SETE RED VINYL, I now get a popup that says:
[Rename
If you change a filename extension, the filw may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it? Yes No]
Feeling cocky and sure that nothing will change in fact I clicked Yes and the photo has disappeared replaced by an icon that I describe. A lost photo.
After moving safely from the photos in different folders, I tried again to see if I could add a caption but I kept getting the dreaded above popup. Then I did the photos via Picasa 3 and when I put pictures in the appropriate folders, I found that I could, and safely, add a caption.
Can someone help me with this situation? I want my old Picture and Fax Viewer because I don't always treat my photos with Picasa and I want to place them in appropriate folders, with good captions under the photos. Can I pick up my old Picture and Fax Viewer or I'm screwed?
Looks like you need to change the following setting.
Open any folder and go... Tools / Folder Options / View tab on...
Clear (clear) the box "Hide extensions of known file types" / apply / OK.Now... When you rename a photo... be absolutely sure that you do not delete the file
extension... JPG for example.For photos that seem to corrupt now... If you rename them again and Add .jpg
extension, they should return to normal. -

How can Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - I specify the editing program?
I set things up so that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default program when I opened a variety of types of image files, which allowed me to get a quick overview without waiting for a program to load full image editing. What I need to be able to do is to specify which program is then launched by WP & FV when I click on the bottom right of the screen edit button - one with text that says "closes this program and opens the image in edit (Ctrl + E).
If I click with the right mouse button and select 'Open with' and then I can select in the usual list of possible programs, but what I want is to set a default value for each file type so that a left click of the button automatically opens the appropriate program. I tried the "program to choose...". "and"Always use the selected program to open this type of file"route after a right-click on the button, but what is happening is that the selected program then becomes the global default and circumvents WP & FV altogether.
Any ideas?

Faxes do not correctly open in Windows Photo Gallery. XP used to open files with Windows Picture and fax viewer. There is no one type of file in Windows Picture and Fax viewer in Windows 7. Can I download this Windows 7 so my fax files will open correctly? Thank you, Laurie
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the new Windows Photo Gallery in Windows 7.
However if you use a newer version of Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition you are trying to install Windows Xp mode (Virtual PC that works under Xp on Windows 7).

Reset Windows Picture and FAX viewer as the default value for jpeg files after loading of Corel
I put Windows Picture and FAX Viewer by default to open jpeg, tiff and other pictures, so it appeared as an option in the drop-down list to view attachments that have been downloaded.

Have you looked into the Corel software preferences to see if you can cancel these associations?

How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon? It seems pretty ugly and useless. There is already an icon of battery-plus-card used to determine the level of battery and charging status...
Moderator edit: matched subject to content.
Hi thang_nguyen!
Another alternative is to double-click the battery icon and when Power Manager opens, click on Advanced Options > Options and uncheck the box "see the gauge of Power Manager in the bar then apply stains.
To access the Lenovo Power Manager when the gauge of Power Manager is disabled, right-click on the Windows icon / energy from the battery in the bar of tasks and you should see "Power Manager".

In Media Center Chess Titans, how can I remove the 3 Menu buttons up (game vs man, play Vs computer, exit) while I'm playing?
While I play Chess Titans (Media Center Version, full screen), there are 3 buttons on the top while I play (game vs man, play Vs computer, exit). These buttons are boring because there is no need of them. Make a right click on the screen offers these options. In addition, when you regularly play Chess Titans (not the Version of Media Center and windowed screen), these 3 buttons do not exist.
