You Right Click a .Bmp file and from the context menu choose "Open

With" and then direct it to your favorite program or "Microsoft Picture

and Fax View (Default).

I should have added "and retain the bmp image in my files". I want to view

the images as I catalog them opened, not as icons. I have plenty of storage

space and prefer the bmp fidelity. Thanks for the help!!

Select the "Always open with..." option, too.

The context menu, available through right clicking the file icon in

Windows Explorer, should be offering a "Preview" function, which will

allow you to view .bmp and many other graphic file formats without

modifying the files on the disk. Look at the bottom of the Preview

window for a projection screen icon that can start a full screen slide

show of the graphic images in that folder. Moving the mouse during the

slide show activates a little control panel with buttons for functions

like pausing and exiting the slide show.
