After Choosing My Pictures Slideshow in the Screen Saver Dialog, Click
Settings then adjust the top slider to desired time.

==============================
If you are running WinXP SP1 you can
download and install the free PowerToy...
TweakUI Ver. 2.10.00

It has an option that allows you to adjust
the slideshow timeout. Just open the
program and go to...Explorer / Slideshow.

Or...if you prefer...there is a registry edit
you can use.

Simple solution....is that you can pause the
slide show by pressing your spacebar and
then advance - reverse your image display
with your arrow keys.

Anyway...for the registry edit...I would suggest
that you carefully read the following article first
before proceeding:

====================================

There's a script you can download from the
following site that will increase the timeout
to 10 seconds...scroll down to #81.

Also, the following info was previously posted
by David Shiflet:

===========================================

The value of the number is represented in milliseconds
between image changes:
1000 = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds, 10000=10 seconds,
etc. To modify my script change the time accordingly.

In order to change the slideshow timing, open regedit
and go to the following key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellImageView]

Create a DWORD named "Timeout", with the value the
number of millseconds between image changes (1000
(Dec) = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds)

Note that the time of actually changing the image is not
included, so 1000 =1 second + time to decode the image

===========================================

If you open the script from Kelly's site in notepad, you
should be able to use David's instructions to change
the timeout to anything you require.


Good luck....
