Correct syntax to use photoviewer.dll as the image editor

[shim...@gmail.com]

I am trying to set MS PhotoViewer as the default editor instead of MS Paint but not having much success. I know that its a DLL (not exe) so i need to call it using rundll32.exe, but all the arguments I use dont seem to work, see picture attached.

Does anybody know the correct arguments to use ?

"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1

[Dương Diệu Pháp]

hmmm... maybe we cannot pass %1 as the parameter to other app.

The following settings work for me with ImageGlass 5.0, now that I've fixed a bug:

 

(.png is only for example). Note do not use %ProgramFiles%, and do not use %1 - the latter is implicit, as ImageGlass provides the path to the image.
