You can change the timing two ways.
1. By hand
Start the slide show. Pressing the space bar will hold the slide on your
screen as long as you want. Press the right arrow key to get the next slide
(left arrow key for previous slide). Press spacebar again and the default
timing will return.
2. Automatic
You need to change the 5 seconds default value in the registry.
