Viewing photos on desktop

Is there a way to open more than one photo at a time on my desktop? Windows
2000 allowed me to do this, but the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in XP only
opens one picture at a time. I need a very basic application to open multiple
photos on my desktop.

There are lots of ways to do this. As a single example, use the
free Irfanview and open multiple instances of it.

Hi Margie,

You can try also try opening photos in Internet Explorer. In this way you
can have multiple photos on the desktop.

Best of luck,
