Setting a folder to always run a slideshow when opened

[Fritz]

Hi,
I have a picture folder that I want to always run a slideshow once it's
open. How do I manipulate folder.htt (or anything else for that matter) to
that?
Also, I'd like to extend that functionality to Photo CDs (ie, automatically
open folder in autorun.inf so the slideshow starts).

Thanks!

I have no idea how to that, but try this.

Create shortcut to...
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
%userprofile%\My Documents\My Pictures
...on your desktop or somewhere.

Dang it that wrapped.
Starting with rundll32.exe and ending with Pictures should be all one line,
with one space between Fullscreen and the PATH.

With the following...
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
....you can add the path to any folder or file.

When you open the shortcut a slideshow will open.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

This starts Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and display the first photo in
the folder but never actually progresses to the next. Any ideas?

Thanks!
