Enhancements/Differences from the Windows Explorer:
When you first load up SB Image Explorer, it's appearance will be similar to the Windows-95 Explorer. However, there are several important additions:
* SB Image Explorer includes a picture viewing panel on the right side of the main window. Any time you hilight a valid image file in the file listview (center panel), the picture panel will display a larger copy of that image. You can double-click on the picture panel to bring up a full-screen view of the image.
* For any image files in the file listview (center panel), the icons will be an actual scaled-down thumbnail of the image itself, thus giving you a Brief overview of the contents of the directory.
