I clicked on the app PHOTOS to see what it was about and now I don't even have Windows Photo Viewer. What the crap is this? Another thing like EDGE?

So..., for anybody who restored Windows Photo Viewer, here's a nifty trick:

As I like to have all my Open with entries front and center...

... I couldn't find a way to add WPV to the root hierarchy...,

so I shifted Image Preview to the top with a new name and icon...

@Brink
Do you happen to know where the original WPV icon resides?
