If you have pictures in a folder, you can have Windows present those pictures in a full-screen slide show. To do this, navigate to the folder containing the pictures, select what pictures you want for your slide show (if you don't select any, all of the pictures in the folder will be used), and click the Slide Show option near the top of the Windows Explorer window (Windows 7).

Barry,
Think you need to rework this one. When I open the folder and select all of the pictures, there is no Slide Show option showing anywhere on the screen.
