Hi all,
I am hoping that some one out there will have a solution
to this.
I want to change the timing between slides (photos) for
the XP slideshow.
Extensive searching has yet to yield any results.

Thanks
 
This requires a registry edit...
I would suggest that you carefully read the
following article first before proceeding:

Information About Editing the Registry
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;256986#Topic2

====================================

There's a script you can download from the
following site that will increase the timeout
to 10 seconds...scroll down to #81.

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm


Also, the following info was previously posted
by David Shiflet:

===========================================

The value of the number is represented in milliseconds
between image changes:
1000 = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds, 10000=10 seconds,
etc. To modify my script change the time accordingly.

In order to change the slideshow timing, open regedit
and go to the following key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellImageView]

Create a DWORD named "Timeout", with the value the
number of millseconds between image changes (1000
(Dec) = 1 second, 5000 = 5 seconds)

Note that the time of actually changing the image is not
included, so 1000 =1 second + time to decode the image

===========================================

If you open the script from Kelly's site in notepad, you
should be able to use David's instructions to change
the timeout to anything you require.


Good luck....
