Welcome!

The forum will help everyone with all computer questions.

In HTML the browser is the default application for viewing JPG images.

So you want a HTML code that will invoke an application to view the images? I think That would require an object that is not part of HTML.

One method is to use javascript to open an application on the local machine. Would that be what you want?
