I am using Windows XP Pro. How do I adjust the speed of
the Windows slide show (Windows Slide Show & Fax
Viewer). When I click on a folder of photos and
select "Picture Tasks", then "View as a slide show", the
photos flip thru too fast. How do I slow the internal
speed of this function down or even pause it if I want
too?
=======================================
You have a small control panel...
The blue button with the two vertical
lines will pause the slide show.
While the slide show is paused you
can advance/reverse the image display
with your arrow keys.
If you still wish to change the speed of
the slideshow...you will have to edit your
registry.
I would suggest that you carefully read the
following article first before proceeding:
Information About Editing the Registry

====================================
There's a script you can download from the
following site that will increase the timeout
to 10 seconds...scroll down to #81.

Also, the following info was previously posted
by David Shiflet:
===========================================
The value of the number is represented in milliseconds
between image changes:
1000 = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds, 10000=10 seconds,
etc. To modify my script change the time accordingly.
In order to change the slideshow timing, open regedit
and go to the following key.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellImageView]
Create a DWORD named "Timeout", with the value the
number of millseconds between image changes (1000
(Dec) = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds)
Note that the time of actually changing the image is not
included, so 1000 =1 second + time to decode the image
===========================================
If you open the script from Kelly's site in notepad, you
should be able to use David's instructions to change
the timeout to anything you require.
Good luck....
