Hi All,

Does somebody knows how you can open pic's with Windows Photo Gallery trough file association within Res Powerfuse/Workspace manger?

I tried to set a file association for c:\program files\windows photo Gallery\photogallery.exe

and for

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Gallery\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1

But it doesn't seem to work.


Does somebody experienced the same and found a solution?

Greetings,

Sander van Dijk

Hi Sander,

Do you still have this issue? If so, what OS are you experiencing this on?

Thanks, Iain

Hi Sander,

You can accomplish this by adding a managed application with the following contents:

Name:	Windows Photo Viewer
Description:	Windows Photo Viewer
Commandline:	%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe
Working directory:	%windir%\system32
Parameters:	%windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
Icon:	Some icon

Next thing is to define the file type associations you want to use.
This enables the "Windows Photo Viewer" as an managed application.

Note 1: For Windows XP this enables "Windows Picture and Fax viewer".
             For Windows 7 this enables "Windows Photo Viewer".

Note 2: You should make the application hidden as it only runned by clicking on a picture.
