Desktop shortcut to open full screen presentation?

[kaston3]

I know how to create a shotcut to open a presentation inside the
powerpoint program but I need the shortcut to open the presentation
full screen not the design screen. I have seen that somewhere but don't
know how to do it.

Thanks

If you are looking for how to do this from Windows Explorer, try saving the
presentation as a PowerPoint Show. This will give the file an extension of
pps instead off ppt, which tells the PowerPoint to open it as a show instead
of as an editable file. (You can also view your file extensions in Windows
Explorer and just change the extension there.)

Super Sneaky Hint to do this: If you are using Windows XP, you can right
click the presentation file and select "Show" from the right click menu. I
don't remember if this works with earlier versions of Windows or not.

Kathy,

Win2000 thinks it's a cool tip too. ;-)
