IrfanView

Show Images in Full-Screen (Kiosk) Mode

SUMMARY: Remove the Windows Taskbar and other toolbars and status bars when viewing images and photos in IrfanView.

IrfanView lets you view images in full-screen (kiosk) mode, free from toolbars and taskbars. Just load an image into IrfanView and choose "View" - "Full Screen" or press "ENTER".

The top of the screen will show the image filename with the actual image in the middle of the screen.

* By pressing the left or right cursor keys, you can view the previous or next image in the current directory, respectively. If you navigate to the beginning or the end of a directory, by default, IrfanView will let you navigate to other directories on your system to view more images.

* To exit full-screen mode, press ESC.

This tip was written for an older version of Irfanview, and instructions for the latest version may differ.
