If you choose not to install IrfanView and want to use what is the normal
default viewer for W98x, then when using the highlight the file and right
click to "Open With" way as brackenburn was referring to, then also
as mentioned you scroll down and choose: iexplore ..and also have the box
checked there to always use that program to open it - and click okay - if all
else is in order you should be just fine then. Be careful here you don't
associate/choose the wrong program at anytime for anything else, and so again
choose specifically: iexplore ..which is the default viewer for image files.
