We have used Alternatiff successfully in the past. However an easier
solution exists within Windows itself. Simply set Imaging for Windows
(previously Wang Image Viewer), Start
Menu->Programs->Accessories->Imaging to be the default application
viewer for TIFF.
For IE 5.x and higher you will need to do this using Windows
Explorer->Tools->Options->File Types
3rd party browsers will need to have the appropriate MIME type set
