Windows Photo Viewer, too many instances

Hello all!

I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. I am used to XP's picture and fax viewer where when you are viewing a photo and click on a new one, it opens in the same window.

With Windows 7 Photo Viewer, everytime you click to a new photo it opens a new window, even if you click the same photo. Before I know it I have 20 photo viewers open.

I can't find a preference to always open the next photo in the same window. I found the same question posted elsewhere on the web but nobody had an answer.

Thanks

Seems that all of these choices have far more features than the average person needs to just view a photo. I use Photoshop for all of my editing but just want something like photo viewer that pops the photo up on the screen immediately when you double click a photo icon.

I'm sure there are many more options than the 10 listed. I'll have to do some searching.

Thanks for the reply.
