This is the IrfanView OPEN screen. Let me explain a little if you are not familiar with "browsing" your files/drives.

#1 Shows the current open folder, "capo" (a folder I made).

#2 The drop down window shows that it is a subfolder of "ebay" (a folder I made), a sub folder of "desktop" (a folder I made), which is a sub folder of Desktop, (a standard Windows95/98 folder), which is a folder in the Windows directory on the C: drive. This is the window you use to navigate to a drive like C or D. Then in the larger window below you use the vertical scroll bar to browse the files on the selected drive. Double-clicking a file/folder will open it revealing the contents of that file/folder. Using this method you "browse" to the file/folder you want. Many programs install themselves into a folder called "Program Files" that is on the C: drive. You might search there for the file/folder you are looking for if you can not locate it.

#3 Check this box and a thumnail image will be displayed when you click on a supported image file type. Very useful for browsing images without opening them into the IfranView editing window.

You can double-click on the image file and it will open up in IrfanView or single-click a file to see the thumbnail, then click the OPEN button.

#4 The thumbnail image of my selected file; "saucer".
