I use FastStone for this. The array is five across at the thumbnail
size I have it set for, but down is the entire file that's opened.

Double-clicking opens the image in full screen. Individual images can
be moved to a different order when re-numbering to present the files
in a different order is desired. The images can be tagged so certain
images only can be displayed, and side-by-side comparisons of two or
more images can be set. There are several other handy features.

The program is free. FastStone Image Viewer 6.4 at www.faststone.org

I have Lightroom and Bridge, but often do my initial sorting in
FastStone. It accepts most types of files from RAW to jpeg.

One downside of faststone is that it won't do slideshows in a window.
Irfanview can do them both fullscreen and in a window (or actually a designated area on the screen, so you can view slideshows in one
section while being engaged in other activities on the rest of the
screen).

Some cameras come with software with that function. I also want the
ability to make the thumbnails larger. All too often they look great
when small, but not quite so great when larger. Adobe Bridge will also
do the job. Few can give you meaningful advice without knowing what else
you want to do, and of course, your budget.

When I tried lightpath, it appeared to be working online.

Probably my mistake, but thanks anyway.

Going with IrFanView.
