Re: view ifs image and specify viewer with strpccmd

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try doing something like:

STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32 
c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen x:\your-picture.jpg')

(that should all be one line -- though, the e-mail client looks like 
it's going to wrap it.)

You're likely to run into limits with the line length, though... 
STRPCCMD can only handle 123 characters in a single command line.

Otherwise, I'd recommend using an HTTP approach, like the one Brian 
suggested.
