I also use Irfanview. It's my main photo management tool 
when portable and pretty much so at home. But if the 
operating system adds extra features I'll use them. and 
thumbnail viewing "just happens" with the O/S whereas it has 
to be 'built' with Irfanview and is relatively slow.

XNView is slightly friendlier in that respect but I so far 
tend to almost only use Irfanview. XNView and irfanview 
complement each other in capabilities.
