Open Windows Explorer then TOOLS-->FOLDER OPTIONS. In the GENERAL tab
tick the radio button SHOW COMMON TASKS IN FOLDERS and click OK.

That is already selected, everything shows except the slide show
option

Hi Dave,
Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 webview.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 mydocs.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 SHIMGVW.DLL click [OK]

Reboot your machine do you get the Picture tasks back?.

Also where do you have your My picture Folder residing, is it in
C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My pictures.
Look here in these Key
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\ "My Pictures
Value data: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Pictures

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\My Pictures

Common Tasks Don’t Match Folder Type

Or try this command if the above info didn't help:
sfc /scannow
HTH.

I use IrfanView with all the plugins, the slideshow in that is customisable
whereas the one in Windows isn't. Best of all it's free.
