I wanted a jpg file type in the Agent newsreader to launch the
Microsoft Photo Editor, and so in Agent (not Windows Explorer), I
associated the jpg file type with the application address "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE" "%1"

What was the purpose of the "%1" at the end?

%1 represents the current file/folder name.


Now, I want a jpg file type in the Agent newsreader to launch the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer instead, but I can't locate this
application. What do I use as the address for the Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer?

Use :
rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen "%1"
