How to make OpenOffice Presentation run at startup?

Hello,

I am having issues on finding information on how to have OpenOffice Presentation run at PC startup without selecting Text Document, SpreadSheet, Drawing, Database, etc.

I have OpenOffice in the Startup Folder, but would like to have Presentation startup with a selected file to play everytime the PC restarts.

I currently have OpenOffice 3. Is there a way to do this? Will it have to be created through a batch file?

Please help.

Thanks

In the entry in the startup folder, add -show {filename.odp} to the command line. (Replace {filename.odp} with the name of the presentation file, including full path. Quote the string if it contains spaces.)

Thank you for your help...

Is there a way to make the slide show run automatically when PC starts or is that something that I would have to configure in OpenOffice PowerPoint?

I guess the OpenOffice item in your startup folder is the quickstarter.

Add a new item in the startup folder (you can probably right click in the startup submenu), with the command line <path to OOo>\soffice -show <filename.odp>
