AutoRun Slideshow 6.0a

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Way more slick than a scrapbook, this miniprogram creates basic picture slide shows with virtually no effort. Installation is a breeze and AutoRun Slideshow automatically opens up a short tutorial in a browser window. You barely need the lesson, however; included sample slide shows are enough to show you how the program works. Be wary of a tutorial file called "MPEG Video"; when we clicked it, it crashed the program. It's easy to add music to a show and to add voice-over or even text to pictures as commentary. Though there aren't too many bells and whistles, AutoRun Slideshow is a good shortcut for a simple picture presentation.
