Ta for the links. I have used Irfanview before-it's probably a bit overkill for what I want though, which is simply a viewer-preferably one that opens as quickly as photo gallery does.

Yeah, I knew .gif's belonged to Compuserve, just surprised MS have had it removed. Presumably so's not to have to pay anyone.
They must hold a licence to use gifs though, as IE does just that.
