Unless I miss my mark, you just want to:

Tools => Options => unselect "End with black slide" under the View tab

Start PowerPoint manually.
Choose Tools, Options
Click the View tab
Remove the check next to "End with black slide"
Click OK

This is an application (ie, PowerPoint) setting, not something that travels
with individual PPT files. You can change the setting for your own computer
but not on other computers.

But since you're automating, you could start PPT then use SendKeys to navigate
the dialog box and make the needed changes.

Or you could (possibly) change the registry where this setting is stored before
starting PPT and then set it back after you close PowerPoint. Changing the
setting while PPT is open will have no effect.
