wmf files...does WIndows Photo Gallery handlle this extention ?

I upgrade windows XP to VISTA B...i noticed that "pictures and files viewer"
program was replaced in windows vista with a program called "Photo Gallery"
(God knows why ?? it worked excelent)...Now i cannot view my (hundred of
thousend) WMF (Windows Meta Files) files which i need to my work (technical
writer illustrator).
Is there any equivalent program i can use (withou buying and installing) to
view my WMF files ??
thanks
David

I have not yet loaded this app in Vista, but I have heard that the latest
version runs in Vista (don't know this for sure.)
Irfanview will open and view .wmf Windows Meta File files and can view and
save .emf Enhanced Meta File files.

Hope this helps ... vanilla

Try XnView, it supports 400 different file types including WMF, is
free, fast and works fine under Vista.

While you're at it, get GOM player. It too is free, works way better
than Media Player for playing videos of all types allowing way more
options and adjustments.

These are two great applications EVERYBODY should install. Both were
developed in Europe. If I remember right XnView in the Netherlands,
GOM in Germany.
