Startup in Thumbnail View

[LV_Bill]

Can anyone tell me how to launch IrfanView directly in the Thumbnail view?
Thanks in advance. LV_Bill

Easy! Go to Start>IrfanView>IrfanView Thumbnails. If for some reason you don't have an entry for IfanView in your Start menu, then create a IrfanView shortcut and add the /thumbs switch after the exe in the target box. For example: "D:\Program Files\IrfanView420\i_view32.exe" /thumbs. Double-click your shortcut. You can also assign this shortcut a shortcut key, like any Windows shortcut.

You can also choose the option Add "Browse with IrfanView" for Drives and Folders to shell menu on the Extensions tab in Properties. Right-click a drive or folder and select that command to open the folder in the Thumbnail window. You can't drag-n-drop on the Thumbnail shortcut itself. Read this.

Problem Solved

The "/thumbs" switch was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the prompt response.
