To be honest Neil I have yet to know of anywhere that needs the Windows Image and Fax viewer. It would be safer to leave it disabled permanently. Likewise if I was a Windows user I woudl assign .vbs files to Notepad as this is the major method that virus writers use. If you do as I say then any virus's written in VBS script rather than running and causing untold damage would just open up in Notepad with no damage done.
