Opening multiple pictures in the same IE window

In Windows Explorer, if I select 10 jpg images in My
Pictures, right click, and select Open, each image opens
in a separate IE Window. It drives me nuts!!

In the computer I had prior to this one, it would open all
10 images in the same window and I could scroll through
them with the back and forward arrows.

How can I make this happen on this computer?
 
Select the 10 pictures.
Right click on them.
Click on Open with.
Click on Choose program.
A list will open.
Click on Window Picture and Fax Viewer.
Check the box "Always use...."
Click OK.
The first picture will open full screen. You can now go back and forth as
before.
Next time you do it, select the 10 pictures, double click on the first and
it will open full screen.
 
Thanks. But Window Picture and Fax Viewer is not a
program option that I have available. Also, my preference
is to use IE as the program. Like I said previously, IE
did this on a computer I used to have, so my thought is it
should be able to work with this one.
 
Strange. Are you on XP? It is part of XP. Not listed when you select Choose
program?
If you select IE to open 10 pictures, the first picture opens, then you
click on Go to get to the next picture. When you do this the second picture
opens in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. You will not notice this, unless
you look at the top bar and see the Windows and Fax Viewer listed there.
Therefore, I suspect that if you do not have Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
properly installed, IE simply opens 10 pictures, each in a separate window.
