Thanks - I did do the custom selection three times, kept all the plugins out
and #$%#$ it still would not work. What I like about ACDSee is it sees
inside zips which is what I wanted it for as it's the only program that I
was aware of that did that. Anyhow John's suggestion did the trick and I
just have to get used to seeing the Infraview icon rather than a .jpg or
.png, etc. extension and I can handle that. Thanks tho for giving me some
tips. btw it's Dolores :-)
