    I'm not familiar with that. I'm guessing it's just the image
handling code for an EXE, but I've never used the Windows
Picture Viewer. I don't see any reason to think the DLL is
going to give you a window.

    Another option would be webvw.dll on XP, but it also
needs a display medium, like a webpage. Then there's WIA.
Again, you can do all sorts of things to images with it, but
you'll need something like a webpage to display the file.
