WXP Picture and Fax Viewer slide show

[john jewell]

I like the above for showing pictures in series/slide
show. The pictures roll every 5 seconds. Hopw can I
increase the viewing time to say 8 seconds? Thanks John.

=======================================
Simple solution....is that you can pause the
slide show by pressing your spacebar and
then advance - reverse your image display
with your arrow keys.

Or...If you are running Windows XP SP1...
you can download and install TweakUI version
# 2.10.0.0 and it has an option that allows
the user to adjust the slideshow timeout.
Just open TweakUI and go to...Explorer /
Slide Show...

Windows XP PowerToys / free download

If you are not running SP1....here's another
option:

This requires a registry edit........
I would suggest that you carefully read the
following article first before proceeding:

====================================

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....
