Is there a GUI-way to manage multiple PPT files similar to managing
multiple slides within a single PPT file -- rearranging, hiding, etc.

I have over 150 PPT files, each with 5-10 slides. Each PPT file deals
with a very specific topic. I often update the PPT topic files so I
don't want a single, large PPT file. Also my PPTs load faster with
many, smaller files. When I prepare my training seminars I select maybe
8 PPT files that are relevant to my seminar. I create a 'master'
seminar PPT file with a single slide that has a hyperlinked table of
contents. Each topic refers to a PPT file.

This procedure works well, but I'd REALLY prefer a GUI-approach of
selecting and rearranging PPT files -- like I can do with slides within
a PPT presentation.

Any suggestions?
 
This might be lame, but with Windows XP ... while in explorer, you can see
the first slide in "thumbnail" view. That works for me. Hope that helps.

What about trying something like Excel to sort the file names? You can
insert a hyperlink to each file name in a cell, and then have each of the
columns contain information on the individual briefing that you can sort on.
