Windows 7 - Is there any way to view pictures in full screen without slide show?

I like viewing pictures in full screen but is it possible to disable that default slide show option? I suppose I can right click and select pause for each one. Any other method(s) available? Thanks much!

As far as I know, windows picture/fax viewer won't let you do it. But one of these might Comparison of image viewers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow! What a selection! I suppose all one has to do is download one and import your pics. Anyone care to recommend one?

I use Faststone and have for years. A very reliable image viewer with tons of editing capabilities. Free and it works.

I use Faststone too. It is the best picture viewer I have seen. Besides the many editing, etc. features, you can look at your pictures full screen. And when you click on the full screen picture, it magnifies it (magnification level depends on your setting). Going to the next picture is by rolling the mouse wheel forward. And if you want to get out of full screen, press ESC - it is that simple.
