Windows XP and Tweak UI
Change Slide Show Timing
SUMMARY: Use Tweak UI to change how long pictures in a Windows XP slide show display onscreen.
When you open a folder in Windows XP containing images, you can double-click an image to preview it in a new window. Then, if you press F11 from this new window, you can start a slide show of all recognizable images in the current directory (note that Windows XP will not recognize all image types but just a few such as .BMP, .GIF, and .JPG).
Normally, the images appear onscreen for 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds) and then the next picture appears. If you would like to shorten or lengthen the amount of time images appear onscreen, use Tweak UI.
1) Start Tweak UI (read the tips in MalekTips for downloading / installation information).
2) Click the "Explorer" link.
3) This should expand the tree. Click "Slide Show".
4) Next to "Time per picture (ms)", enter the amount of milliseconds you would like each image to appear before the next one shows onscreen. For example, if you want images to appear for 2 seconds, enter 2000. If you want pictures to appear for 7 seconds, choose 7000.
5) Click "OK" to close Tweak UI.
