Running Windows Photo Viewer from shortcut for a particular directory?

0

I looked at the Command Line column in the Task Manager, and it's C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe /Processid: {76D0CB12-7604-4048-B83C-1005C7DDC503} so if I want to open that from a shortcut for a particular directory...is there a way to that?

You may run the old PhotoViewer app by using this command:

rundll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen path\to\image

Note however that this old program does not accept quotes around the path, so it cannot be used with blanks in folder or image file-name. For such files, use the old windows style paths, for example: C:\folder~1\image~1.bmp.

You may also use the free Winaero Tweaker to activate PhotoViewer:
