XP PowerToys CD slide show generator

[Don]

Trying to figure out how to use this. CD Slide show generator (Not HTML slide show
Wizaard).

Have recording turned on in drive properties
Have copied JPG's to the temp spot in windows explorer for the cdrw drive.
When I click on "write files to cd" I am not given a choice to create a slide show.
Just the JPG's are copied to the cd, no software for the slide show or the autorun.inf
file to start the show?

I have reinstalled the cd slide show generator thinking maybe it was not installed
properly. Still cannot find our how to start the generator.

How do I access and use the cd slide show software?

See if you lost automated functions that XP associates with photo files.
Place your mouse pointer over the file name or thumbnail of a photo file. A
textbox will open and the first item listed should be Dimensions of the
photo in pixels. If this is not listed, repair all the functions this way.
Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...

After you do this, take one of your already made photo CD and place it in
your drive instead of using a blank CD and copy one more photo to it. During
the copying procedure for this added photo, the wizard should ask you if you
want to add this feature. The wizard comes on after you click on Write files
to CD.
