How to Run a PPS at WIndows Startup

[giovanni.costagliola]

Hey guy,
I've made a powerpoint presentation that should start once when the
system firstly start up.

In order to achieve my goal I've added a key under HKLM\...\RunOnce and
HKLM\...\RunOnceEx (I've made 2 distinct attempts).

In Key value I've putted both the full path of the PPS and something
like (In 2 distinct attempts, of course) this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\LaptopPresentation]
@="C:\\PROGRA~1\\MICROS~2\\OFFICE11\\POWERPNT.EXE
C:\\temp\\laptop.dell.intro.pps"

In either case I didn't get any powerpoint show running.

How can I achieve my objective?

I need to start a powerpoint show just once at the first laptop
startup.

Regards.

WOW! Way too much effort. Much easier way:

1. Right-click the "Start" button and click "Explore".
2. Click the plus sign next to "Programs" to show the "Startup" folder.
3. Place your PPS file there.
4. Close Windows Explorer
5. Reboot and watch it run after Windows starts up!
