Thanks for the quick reply.I couldn't find JEPGView anywhere in appdata. I tried searching my computer for JPEGView.ini in "my computer". I found 4 occurrences of that file 2 of which were in English. I set the show setting to false In both of them but the program still opens in full-screen. I looked in both of my program folders but I couldn't find the program in either of them. It looks like we are still at square one.

As far as I know, JPEGView will only search for the config file in one of those two locations (APPDATA or the program folder). If the file is somewhere else I don't think any modification will be read. Bare in mind, if the file is in neither location you can just put it there and JPEGView will read it.
If you want to reliably solve this, copy the JPEGView.ini into the same directory as JPEGView.exe (or copy and rename JPEGView.ini.tpl to JPEGView.ini for default parameters) and edit the following line:
StoreToEXEPath=true
This will make JPEGView to work in portable mode, reading that file alone for config parameters. In this case, DO NOT install JPEGView in the "Program Files" directory, as Windows will not allow you to freely modify its content.
Then modify your parameter:
ShowFullScreen=false

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I Finally found where the program is located. More importantly I found where the ini file is located. All this is shown on the attachment. I was able to change in the ini file to my liking.
Thank you for your help.
JEPJView should read JPEGView
Last edit: Jim Birke 2021-12-19
Sure, just edit JPEGView.ini:
ShowFullScreen=false
The file could be found either on "%APPDATA%\JPEGView" or where the program is located, depending on how you have it configured.

Is there a way to stop JEPJView from opening in a full screen window?
