location of photo viewer and Windows fax

Hello
I wana use to open an image in the form of access but is not as "mspaint", and I can't find it in c:\windows

I have all the answers on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer but perhaps the
more info will get you started:

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is not a program... it is a. DLL file.  SHIMGVW. DLL

You can launch Windows photo and Fax Viewer if you are going to... Start / run...
and enter the following command:

Rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

(a specific photo can be launched if you include the path)

(add a space and enter the complete path to the image file)

Example path to the image file:

C:\Documents and Settings\ > username<>

Full command line:

Rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen C:\Documents and Settings\>username\Desktop\filename.jpg

    No guarantee... but maybe you can view your TIFF files in the Windows Photo Viewer:

    Change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in win 7?

    How to change the brightness, contrast and color in the windows photo viewer 7 (I used the fix option in xp and vista)
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi epse30,

    In Windows Vista Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the Windows Photo Gallery and there was an option to set the brightness, contrast, etc by using the Fix as you said.

    Unfortunately, this option is not available with the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7.

    However, Windows Live Photo Gallery has a number of easy to use tools for things like red eye fixing or clearing exposure and low light situations. Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you more creative control over your photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free from the link below;

    The above article is for Windows Vista, but it remains valid for Windows 7 as well.

  • Windows 7 will not be printed with the photo viewer and Picture Manager.

    Everytime I open an image file with Windows or Office Picture Manager Photo Viewer and try to print, I get 4 message boxes that said "your photos cannot be printed because this error occurred.

    There is nothing else that a button OK - not even one error code.

    The strange this is I can print almost anything with any other program very well. Firefox, Photoshop, all those print without problem. It's only the viewer Photo and Picture Manager that do this.

    The printer is an Epson RX595 with 64-bit drivers.

    My Office Picture Manager calls a dialog box that has a dropbox to define the printer. If you create an image of a document (*.mdi) you know it's the printer driver that has a problem.

    How can I open picture veiwer and windows fax

    Hi Jazll,

    You can any image right click and select open with... This will allow you to open the image in the Windows fax and picture viewer.

    Windows fax and picture viewer is not a self-contained exe file, you are asked to call a dll file.

    It follows the command line...

    Rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

    You can click on start-> run, type &-> rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen-> ok.

    If you are missing the open icon with you can try open file jpg by the following method:

    Open my computer-> file types-> select jpg-> Advanced-> Double click on Open->-> tools-> Folder Options and paste-> rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1-> in the application used to perform action-> Ok on all screens.

    Now, when you click any jpg file, it will open Windows fax and picture viewer.

    I hope this helps.

  • Where can I go to download Windows Photo Viewer for Windows 7?

    I bought a new PC from Hewlett-Packard, and they included HP photo rather than the Windows Photo Viewer Viewer. The HP software has all of the features that the Windows Photo Viewer, and I would like to download and install the Windows Photo Viewer. A similar question on the forum gives an answer without report pointing to the download of the Windows Live Gallery, that is not the Windows Photo Viewer.

    If you have Windows 7, you already have the photo viewer.
    As a part of Win 7, I doubt that it is available separately for
    Download.

  • Keyboard shortcuts to start the slide show in Windows Photo Viewer in windows Explorer

    This query is NOT on windows live photo gallery, or windows media player/Center

    I use a laptop with a trackpad awkward so I prefer Windows to navigate by keyboard shortcuts.

    Currently in order to start a slide show in the folder I just opened, I have to press F6, F6, right arrow right arrow, enter to start a slide show from the "slide show" button in the Solution Explorer, or otherwise use the arrow and enter keys (to open a file in the Photo Viewer), and then press F11.

    PLEEASE can you tell me there is a faster way to do this?

  • All icons on the desktop have turned to photo viewer and cannot open these programs

    I recently had my computer up to date. Everything was fine until I put my memory stick in the laptop and tried to download my back upwards. Now, when I turn the laptop on the icons does not load and are all stuck in photo viewer and I cannot open programs at all. Can anyone help please, thank you

    Original title: icons on the desktop

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that you are having a bad "file extension association. This is where the default program to open a file is incorrect. In the case of your office, these are all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) and the. LNK Association was by mistake coupled with Photo Viewer.

    I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After you have selected the photo viewer (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in the Photo Viewer as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by the photo viewer and often use the icon Photo Viewer to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

    The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

    You can get a copy of my OneDrive here. I used to send people elsewhere to download a copy, but this page is more in addition to confusion with misleading ads to download this and this computer of powders of snake oil "fixed".

    Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

  • Want to get an overview with the photo viewer and open with Photoshop

    Hello.  In all previous versions of Windows, I was able to do.  Right-click on an image and the 'Preview' option would open the image in the Windows Photo Viewer, and the option 'Open' it would open in Photoshop (or whatever the editor, I had chosen).  I just installed Windows 7 and I seem to be unable to get to do this.  If I select "Photo Viewer" as the default program for jpg files, I have TWO options 'Preview' in the right click menu.  Both will open it in Photo Viewer.  If I select Photoshop as the default program for jpg files, I get a 'Preview' and 'Open' option, but both open the image in Photoshop.

    How can I configure "Preview" with Photo Viewer, and 'open' with Photoshop?

    Thanks for the tips of registry.  I managed to find and fix the problem.  I tried to fix paint.net as the program open by default, and it has open in paint.net and presented in preview in Photo Viewer.  So I thought it was something to go astray with Photoshop.  Under HKEY_Classes_Root\Photoshop.JPEGFile.9\shell, there is a key-file for 'Preview '.  I deleted who, and now it opens in photoshop and previews in Photo Viewer.

  • where the "photo viewer"? and windows fax

    I am trying to located 'windows picture and fax viewer' to remove the unwanted images. Isn't anyoneknow how to access this function so I can remove?

    I guess that your problem is that you want to view the files before deleting them.

    You can use free IrfanView.  It is much more powerful and versatile than Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

    The reason why you can't find WP & FV is because it is in a file named dll enigmatic.  The following is courtesy of MS - MVP volunteer J (and assume you are using Windows XP):

    ********************************************************************************
    Try the following:

    Reach... Start / run... and type
    (or copy and paste):

    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

    (Yes, the space after the 2 and the)
    After the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    Now... the following command should launch a blank Windows
    The screen image and Fax Viewer. He will say: no preview available.

    Rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

    Now set WP & FV as your default viewer, and you should be ready to see the photos.

    Open a folder and click right right click a picture...

    In the menu... Choose... Properties / change button...

    Select Windows Photo And Fax Viewer, and then click on... OK / apply / OK.
