- ~~~~~~~
- You can start ACDSee from the Program Manager by double-clicking on its icon.
- You will immediately be presented with the Image Browser dialog where you can
- browse your directories for images to look at.
-
- If you have made a File Manager association between image files and ACDSee,
- you can also start ACDSee from the File Manager by just double clicking on
- an image file.
-
- You can supply one or more image files as the command-line arguments to
- ACDSee. You can even use wildcards. e.g., acdsee.exe *.jpg would start
- ACDSee and have it slideshow all the files in the current directory.
-
- In addition, you may specify a startup directory on the command line.
- The directory name must end in a "\", or be one of ".", "..", r "<drive>:".
- ACDSee will start the Image Browser in the specified directory.
