This is mostly useless. What if the folder where they are is not configured
as a picture folder?
The built-in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (which is the configured program
that normally opens pictures) has a slide-show function. Just open any of the
pictures in the folder, and then click on slideshow. The order of the pictures
will be the same as what you see in Explorer, so you can order them by date,
name, etc, and they will play in that order.
It has two defects, though, and if anybody here knows how to overcome them,
I'd like to know.
- It starts the slideshow on the main screen only. This is quite annoying,
because if one has a second display connected, *that's* where one usually wants
the slideshow to go.
- It never makes the pictures bigger to fit the screen. It makes it smaller, if
it is too large, but doesn't expand it if it is too small.
