Quick View

QuickView is a file viewer application in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT operating systems. With some workarounds the viewer can be used to view practically any file. However, starting with Windows 2000 and Windows Me, the utility is no longer present in the operating system line,.

The software has been ported by third parties to support XP, Vista and 7.

On 1995-04-03, InfoSoft International, Inc., announced the acquisition of Systems Compatibility Corporation, and the renaming of InfoSoft International, Inc. to Inso Corporation. Inso Corporation later developed Quick View Plus products.

Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or view:

    “The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?”
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    “Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
