Howdy Vipfae, I assume you are using Windows Photo Gallery? If so, you have to start your slideshow by clicking on the center button (looks like a framed picture). Then once the slideshow has started, click on the button that looks like a gear, just to the right of center. When the menu appears, make sure the "shuffle" switch is off (unchecked). This should show your photos in order. Now, here is the kicker. It shows the photos in the order that the files appear in the active folder at present. So, if you have your files sorted by name, they will come up sorted alpha by name. But if you have your photos ordered by size, they will come up smallest to largest (or vice versa). Click on the folder column label so that your photos are ordered correctly in the folder, then open up Photo Gallery, and all should go well. Hope this helps. -- Hogtowner |

You could also rename the pictures with sequential numbers at the start such as *001*mypicture,*002*mypicture etc. Make sure "auto arrange" is selected in the folder "view" -- dbknox |

This is unlikely to work. If the photos are being displayed in folder
sequence then this means that they are currently listed in the wrong sequence and they will be renamed in the wrong sequence, so that even if OP then gets the slideshow to run in the same sequence as the folder it will still be wrong. If they are already in the right folder sequence then simply ensuring that the slideshow runs them in the folder sequence is sufficient to solve the problem. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "dbknox" wrote in message ...

Okay *Jeff*, let me explain further. Frst in "view" deselect "auto arrange" then move your pictures in the order you wish them to play. Once you have done this then rename them sequentialy, then go back into "view" and select "auto arrange". I do this all the time. -- dbknox |

OK. I must have misread. I thought you said "Make sure "auto arrange" is
selected in the folder "view"'. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "dbknox" wrote in message ... Okay *Jeff*, let me explain further.
