Auto Start the slideshow
Auto Start the slideshow
Great little program. I also have problems with the memory leak. So as a workaround I have the PC set to restart everyday and auto login. The only problem I have now is how to auto start/enable the slide show.
Hi,
running the 1.4? In the Dexpot folder in the start menu you'll find a folder called mainmenue. In this folder there is a Shortcut to the Slideshow. Simply move or copy it to the autostart folder.
If there isnt't a shortcut you can set it manualy. The parameter to start the slideshow via shortcut is:
C:\Program Files\Dexpot\dexpot.exe /s
Regards

Re: Auto Start the slideshow
This still seems an issue.
There appears to be now way to autostart the slideshow from the command line.
Any idea anyone ?

You could write a small script using something like AutoHotkey to simulate the "Start slideshow" hotkey and call it from the command line.

Patrick,
Im also looking for something like this. Could you provide an example script for this??? We have a setup using 4 monitors and slideshow with 10 sec timers. We would like to be able to automatically stop the slide show at a set time so the monitors will go into power saving/shut off without us having to manually stop slideshow and power the screens off.
Thank you,
James

Re: Auto Start the slideshow
I have attempted many different scripts to sent the alt-h command to halt the slideshow without success! Does anyone have any suggestions?? I have tried using vbs with sendkeys and appactivate. I have assigned the keyboard shrotcut of ALT + h to stop the desktop slideshow.
Re: Auto Start the slideshow
I have been attempting to use a very simple script to send a controlsend !h. I have not been successful in finding the correct "title". I have attempted to use dexpot.exe, Dexpot64.exe, DexControl.exe, and Slideshow.exe without success.
Here is a sample of my ahk script: "ControlSend,, !h, (name of exe here)"
Any suggestions??
