Can a ppt presentation open up as a show automatically?

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Yes. Rename the file extension from .ppt to .pps

Save it as a .pps file (PowerPoint Show). You can do this by choosing
Save As from the File menu and choosing PowerPoint Show for the file type
(you might have to scroll down the list file types to see that one).
Alternatively, you can just change the file extension to .pps instead of
..ppt (from within Windows while PowerPoint is closed).

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -

Hello,
In other responses to your post, workarounds have been suggested using the
*.pps (PowerPoint Show) file extension and opening presentations from the
Windows shell, but even in the latest version of PowerPoint (2003),
presentations opened via the File menu will always open up in an editing
view.
However, if it's still important to you (or anyone else reading this
message) that you be able to force presentations to come up in slide show
view automatically even when opened from the File menu, don't forget to
send your feedback to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
