9. Enable and disable Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (XP)

9. Enable and disable Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (XP)


You can register or unregister shimgvw.dll to enable or disable WPFV:
Enable:  Start > Run > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Disable: Start > Run > regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
Note: If you unregister shimgvw.dll, Windows Explorer will not display thumbnails anymore. So the registry tweak is a much better way to disable WPFV. If PhotoEd is installed, it will open picture files after WPFV is disabled.
