How to show a full screen JPG

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
This is what I use with Windows10
- amend the filepath

Code:
Sub jpg()
    Dim FILEPATH As String
    FILEPATH = "C:\Users\yongle\Pictures\whatever.jpg"
    Shell "RunDLL32.exe C:\Windows\System32\Shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & FILEPATH
End Sub

Thanks but on my Windows 7 it just opens the JPG in a Windows Photo Viewer (not full-screen) window :(
