Just my 2 cents worth, but when I have to work with windows, my picture viewing software of choice is > irfanview <(LINK). Free for non-comercial use.
Things I like about it:
Right click and drag to pan around a large image
Left click and drag create a selection rectangle, then left click inside it to zoom that area
Can capture from WIA and TWAIN scanner and auto number if your scanner has a document feeder
It can handle multipage .TIFs and add, remove, insert, and reorder the pages
Oh and it can batch scan directly to multipage TIF too
It has a thumbnail view available, but it is pretty crappy. I just associate all image file with it, and use the mouse wheel or pgup/dwn to scroll through all images in a directory.
OK maybe that was three cents worth
