This has been covered sometime in the past, I'm sure, but
can someone please help me ?? - I want to begin a slide
show when the presentation icon is clicked. Right now,
it just brings up all of the slides, and I must manually
start the slide show. How can I get it to start when the
presentation program is selected ??

Thanks.
Gregg

Change the presentation extension from *.ppt to *.pps

I appreciate your response, but this did not work. Any
other suggestions ??

I am using Powerpoint 2002 with Win XP.

Thanks.

Is the icon on your desk top or in Explorer? By default the .pps extension tells
PowerPoint to open in the slide show mode
