Is it possible to perform the following task with Microsoft Powerpoint?

I would like to create a file that runs a slideshow from JPEG files made
into slides in the Powerpoint file. I need to have the slides changed
randomly, so either the import of the JPEG files should be randomized, or
the slideshow should randomize the slides every time it is started.
Furthermore, the slideshow should run forever - e.g. run again, when all
slides have been shown.

Thank you for any help with this.

Best regards,
David List
 
David,

Best bet is to import the photos first, then get the add-in to make things
random

see
BATCH IMPORT images into PowerPoint

then
see

and perhaps

Although Flash Slideshow Builder could make a randomize slideshow, it's
really an easy-to-use software for making photo slideshows and a good
choice to create flash photo presentation with music.
Simply import your photos and set the transition effects. Choose
"Auto-loop" at the publish settings, so that the slideshow could run
again and again.
