hello

consider Windows Picture Viewer

it opens the image files inside a folder and browses throught them by hitting ENTER

hitting DELETE deletes the current viewable file

is there a program to do this for TXT files?

XnView can also show txt files as thumbnails, you can change the thumbnail size in options.

While not exactly what you're asking for, I've been using X-Find by Xteq (www.xteq.com) to drill through large piles of log files. It doesn't give you thumbnails, but it will search all files in a given directory for a string of text, and then give you a list of files the string was found in. Clicking any of the files in the list will display the files contents on a viewer panel with your search text highlighted.

It's a small, lightning fast, single file (no install required) utility that might be worth a shot.
