                        This tweak works in Windows ME/XP, I have not try this 
                        tweak in Windows 2000 and NT yet becuase i don't have 
                        that OS. You can try it if you have.  
                        *This tweak doesn't work in Windows 95/98
                        To remove the Windows Image Viewer, first:
                          Open Start menu. 
                          Select Run. 
                          type "cmd", (for Windows ME, tpye "command") 
                          Then type "regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll" to unregister this 
                          dll files. This will stop it from previewing any 
                          image's format that it support such as JPEG, Bitmap, 
                          GIF ...
                        *Before perform this tweak, make sure you have the 
                        alternative Image Viewer e.g. ACDsee, FireGraphic, Ulead 
                        Photo Explorer... Because once you do this tweak without 
                        that application installed, you can't open and view your 
                        image anymore! So, type "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" in 
                        command prompt to undo this tweak.
                        Windows Image Viewer is not an advanced Image Viewer 
                        application if compare to the others. So i decide to 
                        remove it and replace it with ACDSee...! Seems like i am 
                        advertising ACDSee! haha!!
