In another thread we were discussing wallpaper and I mentioned I do not like it because it clutters the desktop and you cannot see the picture well anyway (not to mention it uses resources I can use better for whatever I am usng the computer for).
But, I do have a folder with hundreds of nice photos which I like to look at and I’d like to do a slide show which would display them in order or maybe in random order.
I have a program called AIpict (http://members.aol.com/aipict/) which is not very good but will do a slide show if you give it a text file with all the file names. It is not very practical.
I also have MS Photo Editor 3.0 but I believe it has no slideshow capability.
Finally I have MS Internet Explorer 5.0 and I was thinking it would probably be relatively easy for someone with knowledge of Javascript to program this as an HTML file. Just have the page refresh every x seconds and display a different file (can this be done?).
I also remember that you can start MSIE with a switch so that it will take the entire screen, no toolbar or anything, 100% displayed photo.
I would prefer it would display the photos randomly because if not you just get to see the ones at the biginning all the time and not the rest.
If this is difficult or impossible maybe it could just display them in order BUT start at a random place down the list.
Can someone help? Any ideas?
