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.

bran: working on a C++ app which enables the classic theme. i want it to be out of the way, unlike SCT which is very invasive. currently have the base functionality working in win 11!!! Mar 21, 2023 12:14:20 GMT -8

OrthodoxWin32: bran I'm pretty sure it's possible, Feodor2 managed to port Mozilla's Rust compiler on Windows XP : github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/ Mar 23, 2023 15:40:31 GMT -8

bran: SCT contains quite a few dialogs that open on startup. There might be a way to disable them but I still don't like all that baggage running at startup Mar 24, 2023 4:01:33 GMT -8
