Translate code from Mac to PC

[Ray]

When I first bought a Windows 8 system I was really disappointed to 
discover that every time I opened an image file it used Photo Viewer or 
something as the default program.  It went full screen and left me back 
in the, what I consider undesirable, "metro" side of Windows 8.  I've 
gotten around this using a free download called Foxit Reader.  You might 
take a look and see if it meets your needs on the Windows side.

Regards,
