PowerPoint viewer2003 Splash Screen

[charlie]

Does anyone know how to make it so that the splash screen
doesn't come up when using the new PPviewer2003?

 

[Chirag]

The /S switch would supress the splash screen. The information on set of
switches that the new PowerPoint viewer supports is available at:

How do you incorporate the "/S switch" to suppress the splash screen?

 

[Sonia]

Create a BAT file that uses this line, or go to Start > Run and type
<path>pptview.exe /S <path>yourfile.ppt. Provide the full path to your copy
of pptview.exe and the correct path and name of your presentation file.

 

[Chirag]

It depends on when you want to suppress the splash screen. When you are
creating the Autorun CD, you can include this switch on the command-line. If
you want the slide show to always use the PowerPoint Viewer, then you can
modify the command-line for the file type to include this switch.

I create my CD in PPT2003. Can you still suppress the MS splash screen once
you have created the CD using "Package for CD" feature?

I looked at the autorun.inf on the CD after creating it and it says.....
[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /L "playlist.txt"

Can you make a change to autorun.inf to suppress MS splash screen after you
have burned CD?

 

[Sonia]

You can't change the CD, but you can dump everything back to disk and change
the autorun.inf file, save it, then burn the files to a new CD.

The autorun.inf file should be:

[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /S /L "playlist.txt"

Next time use "Copy to folder", make the change, and then burn to CD.
