    There is a (Windows?) tool called Photos (Jpg, Png-viewer) --- i don't
    like it because it launches sluggishly....


    Esp. in the last 5 days or so, i'm noticing that almost every day
    i have to go to Properties to change the default back to
    my fav. Jpg, Png-viewer tool


    because the Windows update (?) is pushing Photos on me.

    is there a Fix for this???

    Have you tried the free image viewer with thumbnails support called
    Irfanview?

    yes. irfanview is what i like. (i also like Sumatra PDF viewer)

    irfanview is good at extracting a page (as Jpg, Png) from a PDF file.

    jump ahead (FF) 6 minutes. (1/10 of the whole thing?)

    There seems to be no way to go ahead 1, 2, or 3 minutes.
