Does it work then? Not know, is not my purpose. I am using that command I open the executable associated with the ppt extension but does not work the same way with pptx files. If I rename the pptx files in ppt everything works fine but I would not have to rename the file each time ppt |

: I am using that command I open the executable associated with the ppt extension but does not work the same way with pptx files. If I rename the pptx files in ppt everything works fine but I would not have to rename the file each time ppt I think that you mean "slide show" mode by "full screen". The only reason for the problem that I can think of is that there is PPT Viewer in the computer and .ppt files open in that. But you can make .pptx files open in slide show mode by using command line option /s. Use that as the ShellExecute parameter after the filename. For other options, see http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00528.htm |
