Default Run PowerPoint 2007 in background

Hi. I'm setting up a PC for a museum that displays a .pps on continous loop
on screen 2, while at the same time running a DVD on screen 3. Screen 1 is
for administration. The problem I have is that if the PowerPoint-window is
no longer active, the slideshow stops. So if I have to do anything admin
stuff on screen 1 the .pps pauses 'til I activate the window again. To make
matters worse I don't even see screen 2 from where the PC itself is... In
other words; can I run PowerPoint in background?

Look at PowerShow from http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html
for keeping your slide shows running while you use your applications on
other monitors.
