Mypictures/slide show/how change transition rate?

[jandan]

When you view "My Pictures" as a slide show, the rate of slide transition seems to be about 5 seconds.  Can this rate of transition be changed? and how?  I'm not interested in doing this through Power Point.

You could pause it and manually transition. However, other than some obscure registry tweak that I don't know about, I don't think there is a way to change the slideshow transition speed. TMD (Typical Microsoft Deal)

Thanks for your help.  Since I am not connected with anyone who knows much about computers, this forum is greatly appreciated.

Hold on, I know a way . . . I'll find it for you but it may take me a while.
There's a registry hack somewhere and another way.
I'll find it.

rosepen, do you have any photo editing software, perhaps something that came with a digital camera?  I have Fujifilm camera that came with FinePix Viewer software.  I can use it for slide shows and it does give the option of changing the speed.

You just reminded me of this thread.
You can change the speed of the slideshow transition using TweakUI.
Download and install it, then go to Explorer --> Slide Show, where there is an option to change the speed.
it can also be done via the registry but I can't remember how.
Hope this helps.
PS It is 5000ms, or 5 seconds, by default.  You were right.
