Hi,

Is there a way to change the default number of seconds in
the time delay for the slideshow? For example, I'd like
the slideshow to leave the image on the screen for longer
than a few seconds before looping to the next image.

Thank you,

SteveF.
 
There is if you are willing to edit the registry.
A simpler way is to control it by hand.
When a picture shows on your screen, press the Space bar. The picture will
stay there until you press the right arrow key to bring the next picture
(left arrow to bring the previous picture) and if you want to continue with
the default time, press the Space bar again.

=================================
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:

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

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....

Happy Holidays to you also.
Just brace yourself. Christmas gifts are coming, New computers, new
cameras.
A bunch of old questions coming up! Hope we get some more help for answering
all this. Seems like new, kind people, are coming to help. Very nice.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all trying to help here.
 
Thank you all. Great help.

My intent was to just automatically delay the time between
slideshow without manual help. So, your solution is great.

As an aside, I discovered that the screen saver under the
Control Panel, has an option for a "My Pictures
Slideshow", which has a "Settings" where you can modify
the time delay for how often pictures change, how big the
pictures should (in percentage terms), which (parent)
folder to use to loop through images, and other
interesting things such as whether to use Powerpoint-like
transition effects between images.

Thanks again.
