Simple steps...

Create and Play a Slide Show

1. Choose Start? Pictures. Double-click the Pictures Library folder to display all pictures within it.

2. Click the check box next to an image to select it. Repeat this to select all the photos you want to appear in the slide show (see Figure 22-10).

3. Click the Slide Show button. The first image appears in a separate full-screen display (click Alt+Tab to go to this display). The slides move forward automatically, cycling among the photos repeatedly (see Figure 22-11).

4. Press Esc to stop the slide show.

If you want a more sophisticated slide show feature, check out Windows Media Center. Here you can create and save any number of custom slide shows, reorganize slides, and edit slide shows to add or delete photos. You might also consider a commercial slide show program, such as PowerPoint, if you want to create more complex slide shows.
