What is the characteristic that allows me to view some directories as
slideshow?

Can I set other folders to do the same thing?
 
Hi,

The directories that support the slideshow option are those that contain the
right sort of supported image files.

You can view your pictures as a slide show in any My Pictures subfolder or
any folder customized as a pictures folder.

Open a folder | View | Customize This Folder | Select Pictures or Photo
Album


You cannot customize the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders.
However, you can customize the folders they contain.

I have a directory named C:\vacation

It is an exact duplicate of
C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\My Documents\My Pictures\vacation

except that C:\vacation is shared.

And except that I can't set C:\vacation to view with options such as
slide show.

Thanks, I found it.
 
They always hide something to make it difficult, don't they?

Hi Howard,

And there are no files in there that would not be supported in a slideshow
(ie: non-image files)?

Westley's solution for this worked.

There were some non-image files. But the directory was copied from
my pictures to a shared directory location without change.
