There are times when I want to use the Slideshow feature of Windows Explorer, but it seems to have gotten lost. Here’s how to get it again.
View – Customize this Folder -
From “Use this folder type as a template – Choose “Pictures”
Apply – OK
Then just click on the folders button and the slideshow option should show.
If you’d like to see your pictures in Windows Explorer in a Filmstrip format, you may need to set it up initially. If you are browsing a folder in Windows containing mostly images and this feature is not available, you may need to customize the current folder’s view.
1. Select “View” – “Customize This Folder”.
2. The folder properties multi-tabbed dialog box will appear. Underneath “Use this folder type as a template” choose “Pictures” or “Photo Album” as desired.
3. Click “OK” to close the dialog box.
The “View” – “Filmstrip” option should now be available.
