XP's image viewer has been "ported" to W7-10. Basically it's a wrapper program that allows you to browse what to whatever image you want to display and it'll load it up just fine in XP's Photo and Fax Viewer.

And just to confirm it works, here it is on my setup:

Finally, I can ditch Internet Explorer for viewing GIFs. Wonderful trick, this is something I've wanted for years.

Just want to say many thanks for this edited version. It's great and def an improvement imo seeing as I'm not much a fan of the XP icons. Cheers.

ʇǝǝๅ ftw: I really don't get why people find 1909+ a PITA. Most of my setups always run the latest version of Windows because I use a bit of it's functionality (mainly WSL2, the UWP notes app and better Dark Mode support). I've never had any big problems with it Jan 12, 2021 1:28:31 GMT -8

ʇǝǝๅ ftw: (continuing) that caused me to not want to have Classic Theme on these setups. Can someone explain to me where the bottlenecks in 1909+ are for them and why those bottlenecks are problematic? Jan 12, 2021 1:29:38 GMT -8 *

ihatemetro: Just recently found out that 1903 went EOL, time to upgrade to 1909(with the ugly search box). EDIT: Now my Windows install is super unstable
