I want to make a shortcut. I know how, but cannot find Windows Picture
and Fax viewer in the menu or by using search. What is the executable
file name and which folder subfolder is it in?

I believe it is run from with in Windows Explorer as a .DLL and there is no
executable for Windows Picture and Fax View.

The %1 is needed to pass in the name of the file being opened (when
you, for example, double-click on it). To just open the program, use
the same command line except without the "%1" at the end.
There is no direct executable file for this program. Instead it is a
method stored within a DLL file (dynamic linked library). You tell
rundll32.exe, the executable, which DLL file to use and the entry
point name for the method. That is why rundll32.exe was provided
because of aggregate "programs" (methods) stored within DLLs.
Where is Windows Picture and Fax viewer?
