Help re. colour differences in image viewers...

Hi Guys,

I have processed a RAW image, from a Canon 30D, in Rawshooter then
converted it to an sRGB Jpeg.

When I then compare the RAW image seen in Rawshooter with the converted
Jpeg viewed in CS2 the colours of that image look the same... as expected.
However, if I then compare the above images with the converted Jpeg
viewed in 'Windows Picture & Fax Viewer or Irfanview, the colours are less
vibrant, and the blue tones in this image are seen as a slightly lighter
hue.
Am I doing something stupid, or should I expect this because the Windows
Viewer & Irfanview are not colour managed.
Is there a viewer that I can use that will display the colours that I
see in Rawshooter & CS2?
Your help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks... Rob...
