Is there any software out there which will integrate with explorer, so that
when i click on a picture i can view it in full screen and use the arrow
keys to go to the next picture (even if the picture is small i need it to be
stretched to full screen).

If it would replace the standard explorer picture viewer, then that would be
great, as the standard explorer viewer only shows them in a window.

Cheers

Irfanview has a command line option to open full screen, which I have
set up as the default for viewing images on my machine.

Here's how in WinXP:
- Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, File Types.
- Highlight the extension "JPG" and choose "Advanced"
- In the "Edit File Type" dialog box, choose "New..."
- In the "New Action" dialog box, enter a name for the action.
I chose "Fullscreen".
- Under "Application used to perform action", enter:
"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "%1" /fs
Your path may differ.
- Accept the changes in the "New Action" dialog.
- Back in the "Edit File Type" dialog, highlight the new action, choose
"Set Default", and "OK".
- Repeat for any other file types you desire.

Simple, isn't it? :)
