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). If you are using a Windows 10 system, after selecting the pictures you wish to have in your slide show, click the Slide Show option on the Picture Tools tab near the top of the File Explorer window.

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.
