Actually with the box "unchecked", you don't *open* more than one file at a
time in Irfanview. However, you *can* have two or more instances of
Irfanview open at one time with a different graphic in each instance.

If you just go to "Open File" while any graphic is displayed in Irfanview,
the graphic will be replaced by the newly opened file.  However if you
start a new instance of Irfanview by either double clicking on a jpg file
(if Irfanview is your default jpg viewer) or double click the Irfanview
program shortcut, and open a jpg file in that new instance, you should have
two copies of Irfanview open, each with a different jpg file displayed.

I think that is what you are wanting.
