Slide Show from Remote Computer?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Resco File Explorer will allow you to map network drives on your PPC and
open files stored on remote drives (i.e. photos, music, movies, documents.
etc..)

You could use VNC software to view your PC while it's running the
slideshow, there are free VNC viewers available but I don't know if
any allow you to view the entire PC screen in one go - our VNC software
PTvncGPRS(240*320) or PTvncHiRes(480*640) will let you do so.
There are trial versions on Handango and PocketGear.
We are investigating adding sound streaming to our VNC software
at the moment.
