Animate GIF files in Windows Explorer?

I have Win7 SP1 and I have a collection of GIF
files that I store in Explorer. To animate these
I have to use some other software such as Firefox
or IrfanView.

How can I animate them all at once in Windows
Explorer?

I don't know of any way to have Explorer run animations directly, but
until something better comes along, you could put the script below in
any folder containing animated gif's and run it whenever you want to see
the animations in action. It ain't fancy, but it works.

'==animator.hta=<html><head><title>Animator</title></head>
<body><script type="text/vbs">
set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fldr=fso.GetFolder(".")
for each file in fldr.files
if lcase(right(file.name,4))=".gif" then
document.write "<img src=""" & file.name & """>"
end if
next
</script></body></html>
