If the pictures change, but the file names stay the same, you could link
to the pictures. Otherwise, you will need to re-insert them every time.
However, this can be made to be pretty easy. Check out this entry from
the PPT FAQ:

hey steve,

i know the Windows based solution..i try to explain you my projekt.

I need a Possibility to view a slideshow that shows automaticly pictures
from a directory.
So my idea was that after the pc start's (Win XP) i start with a whs (
windows host script ) a Powerpoint presentation. And that presentation read
a directory and view all jpg's that was inside there. The pictures must be
once on the day updated. Another reasen why i desided for Powerpoint was
that i need two presentation on two screens but on one client.

....sorry for my english but i'm hope that you understand what i mean

greets

Mike!

Well, given all that, it sounds as if PPT might just be easiest.

Use Shyam's Image Importer Wizard to get the images into PPT with an option
to insert the images as links. http://skp.mvps.org/iiw.htm

Or insert the images manually, since linking means you really should only
have to do it once. Use Insert/Picture/From File, and then down by the
Insert button click on the little downward-pointing arrow and select "Link
to File."
