Does anyone know how to change the speed that the pictures change at when generated by the slideshow feature??
 
You can edit the registry and change the default (5 seconds) to anything you
want. But then you are stuck with the new value you enter. A better way is
to control it by hand.
Start the slide show. Press the Space bar. The picture will stay on your
screen for as long as you want. To get the next picture, press the right
arrow key (press the left one for the previous picture). If you want to
resume the default speed, press the Space bar again and stop the picture you
want on your screen by pressing the Space bar again and right arrow key
again to continue.

========================================
If you download and install TweakUI on WinXP SP1
it has an option for adjusting the slideshow timeout.
Just go to...Explorer / Slide Show

Get it here:

.Where do you go in the registry to find this default 5
second timing. Could you please outline the path to get
to this registry key. Thank you

==================================
Simple solution....is that you can pause the
slide show by pressing your spacebar and
then advance - reverse your image display
with your arrow keys.

Or...If you are running Windows XP SP1...
you can download and install TweakUI version
# 2.10.0.0 and it has an option that allows
the user to adjust the slideshow timeout.
Just open TweakUI and go to...Explorer /
Slide Show...

If you are not running SP1....here's another
option:

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/?kbid=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.

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....
