That’s a name I have not heard in a long while. I used to use it back on Windows 95 because it was a faster way to view JPEGs than opening Internet Explorer. Everything about that makes me feel old.

Still a part of the standard software I install on every new install.

As an only occasional windows user, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing such a list, maybe in a GitHub gist if you find yourself bored one day :)

Not the OP but I use a subset of the software available on https://ninite.com/ (IrfanView included)

Used to use that as well, but the selection was too limited for me, so I first switched to chocolatey, and nowadays, winget.

This way I can install almost everything I want with one command.

I'll post my list tomorrow when I'm back on my PC.
