Is it possible to change the slide show default speed? It runs at about
6 seconds now and I'd like to cut that to 2-3 seconds.

You can use Tweak UI or a registry file I created for you.


Using Tweak UI

1. Download and install Tweak UI:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

2. Open Tweak UI and expand "Explorer".

3. Select "Slide Show" and adjust the time accordingly.

4. Apply, OK.


Using a Registry File (Sets the time to 2.5 seconds)

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\ShellImageView]
"Timeout"=dword:000009c4

----------copy inside only----------

2. Save-as SlideShow_Time=2.5.reg (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

The speed can be increased upwards in the Settings controls, but seemingly
not reduced below 6 secs. For that reason, and its issues with which
directory to use in certain circumstances, I tend to shy away from the My
Pictures Slide Show screensaver and use freeware instead.

edcm,
The easiest way to accomplish what you want to do, is to first download the
power toys program TweakUI for XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Once the program is installed:
Control Panel TweakUI Scroll down to Explorer Slide Show Set transition
speed to 2000 to 3000 ms, or other rate that you desire.

There's me confusing the "My Pictures Slide Show" screensaver with the
Slideshow in the Picture & Fax Viewer. Still, at least it got "edcm" an
answer!
