Win XP SP3
Is it possible to have a shortcut on desktop, that when clicked will
start a slide show of pictures in My Pictures.

TIA
Doug

To add some possibly-needed detail to Leonard's reply, the shortcut should
point to C:\Windows\System32\ssmypics.scr (assuming a default installation
path). You can also associate a keyboard shortcut key to it for speedy
firing up if you wish.

Try the My Pictures screen saver.

Thanks for that - but what I'm looking for is to set up a slide show for
someone (who is computer illiterate) on their computer & I can't see how
you can set up a shortcut to the screensaver.

You're welcome - are you okay with creating the shortcut itself? If not:
right-click blank area of desktop; select New, then Shortcut; type in the
destination above; give it a name, Bob's your uncle.
