QuickView is a file viewer application in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT operating systems. With some workarounds the viewer can be used to view practically any file.[1] However, starting with Windows 2000 and Windows Me, the utility is no longer present in the operating system line,[2][3] although similarly-named commercial alternatives such as QuickView Plus[4] (based on Outside In technology) exist for the newer operating systems.
