I'm with you, I like Irfanview for it's simple functionality, and don't
want a lot of bloatware that is included with driver packages. However,
in this case, it sounds like you are going to have load at least the
control application to enable that button. Why not just load them all,
then delete everything expect the one doing the button control?
