Okay, here's the deal: with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer you select a picture file and it bring it up in a new window. From there I can Zoom In, Zoom Out, Delete, Print, Start a Slideshow and so on. Also, I have the ability to press the left or right arrow keys on my keyboard to go through the entire folder of picture files. The program automatically resized images to fit in the viewing screen, although with the press of a button they can be put back into their regular size. Your method of bringing up each individual jpeg for the sole purpose of having it appear in its actual size sounds incredibly time consuming, not to mention just a big hassle all the way around.

Long-term storage. Put stuff in it that you don't use very often or might not ever use again but don't want to out-right delete. It has the added bonus of allowing you to take large files with you.
