   Yeah, good luck with that. Pretty sure you'll need a "usual display program".   
   For that matter, I don't think anything included with Windows can show just   
   an image without the rest of the app being visible, except in full-screen   
   mode (which I personally don't know how to script, if it's at all possible).   
      
   Some third-party apps that should be able to do this, but I'm not going to   
   spend my time searching for you. Google this:   
      
     windows command line image display   
      
   Alternately, you could write a program to do this yourself. Just sayin'.
