Is there any way to adjust the time interval in a slide
show. (XP) I have identifing or commentary text with
some pictures and there is not enough time to read it.

Are you referring to the Screen Saver Slide
Show or the Slide Show you can run from any
folder that contains pictures?

For the Screen Saver Slide Show...you click the
Settings button on the Screen Saver tab in Display
Properties...and there is a slider you can adjust.

For the slide show in your pictures folders....
If you are running WinXP SP1, you can download
TweakUI version 2.10.0.0 and it has an option
that allows you to adjust the slide show timeout.

Get TweakUI at the following link:

Windows XP PowerToys / free download

After installing...Open TweakUI and go to...
Explorer / Slide Show.


If you are not running SP1...here's more info:

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.

Anyway...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....
