Previewing image files

You can preview image documents (including fax documents) using the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer without opening an image-editing program. This is especially useful when browsing through a list of nondescriptive file names. For example, let's say you have a file named 09786.jpeg. You may wonder what the file looks like.

To preview an image file:

  1. Right-click the file, then choose Preview from the pop-up menu.
  2. The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer opens, displaying the image file.
  3. Use the control buttons at the bottom of the window to perform basic tasks without opening an image-editing program.
  4. Use the arrow buttons to view images as a slideshow.
