Slide show on start up.

oAJAXo · Apr 10, 2014

Hi
We have an xp display unit on a wall in a waiting room. I would like to display a slidshow of .bmp and or jpg images from a folder (My Pictures)?.
The issue I have is I want to set this to happen at start up. Just turn the pc on and the images start showing (after boot of course). Anyone know how to do this please?
Many thanks

Thanks, but this refers to Win7. I tried on xp but there is no open. Then there's the question, open what?

Where is the view a slide show. I can only see it when My Pictures folder is open. Its under the Picture tasks. I have searched the drive for 'view a slide show' but there are no responses.

Alternately, you could just use the screen saver in slideshow mode

Slideshow
Point it at whatever picture folder you want
Set it to one minute.
