=======================================

The following command will open the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullsc reen

If you leave a space and add the full
path to an image file...the command
will open the image.

Sorry, but I don't know if it's possible
to launch a slide show this way.

Explorer command line options are documented at

There doesn't seem to be any way to do what you want.

Don't know about a slideshow, but this will open a single picture.

Start | Run |
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullsc reen
path-to-picture (or path-to-folder name)

There should be one space between
ImageView_Fullscreen
and
path-to-picture (or path-to-folder name)

path-to-folder name opens the first picture in the folder.
