Windows 7: animated gifs and windows photo viewer

@polarwind

IE draws it's GIFs each fram over the other without releasing the resources for the one under it, making it VERY inefficient and causing lag. I have no idea why microsoft thought this was a good idea.



The reason it wouldn't work is because you already specified the program to open gifs, and windows won't accept the SAME EXE NAME if it's in a new location. rename the exe and it will overwrite the previous value, allowing you to use it.

Thanks I needed this
I'm new to win 7 and miss the way XP did some things

I joined just so I could thank corgano;
thank you so much corgano. You've made my pc experience easier and more enjoyable.

Registered only to thank corgano for this excellent tool and to express my disbelief that this does not work in vista and windows 7.

Thank you corgano, this program is exactly what I needed. To give thanks, I've made a hi-res version of the icon if anyone wants to use it.
