Hi,
I am develop a batch file that starts a ppt show. Once I complete the show,
the ppt show stays with a prompt "press any button to close the show". I am
trying to run this in a loop without human intervvention. Any ideas on this
is highly appreciated. Below is my batch file.

@echo off

:START

cd C:\Prorgam Files\Microsoft office\OFFICE\OFFICE11
pptview.exe "Test PPT.ppt"
GOTO START

Why do you need this batch file?
- Use Tools - Options - View to disable the black end file
- Use Screenshow - Setup Show - Kiosk mode or Repeat until Esc to loop show.

Best regards,
Ute

Satish,
Try this:
Open ppt => Tools => Options => View
Then "Uncheck" the check box 'End with black slide'.
