Not as easy as it looks. The thumbnails are apparently created by javascript downsizing an existing image. One of the commands used is shown below extracted from a thumbnail image. javascript:displayWindow('images/01-01.jpg',500,351 ) One way of making javascript execute on page loading is to incorporate it into the html body tag, similar to the one below. <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" onLoad="displayWindow('images/01-01.jpg',500,351 )"> If it works, this should display a large size image in a new window on loading, but for this to work, the image must be in the 'images' directory, and the displayWindow code must be available to run. It may be hidden in the page at: http://freebooks.by.ru/view/WinNT4ProgUnleashed/ch01/007-011.html This is going to take some experimenting to work properly, but the above should provide a place to start. The script sounds quite handy.
