How to Add Slide Show to Context Menu of Files in Windows 10


When you select one or more images in a folder containing pictures (image files) in Windows 10, you can view them as a slide show.

By default, you can click/tap on the Slide show button in the "Picture Tools" Manage tab of the File Explorer ribbon to view pictures in the folder as a slide show.

If you like, you can add a Slide show context menu item to also use.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Slide show to the context menu of all image files for all users in Windows 10.

While you must be signed in as an administrator to be able to add or remove the context menu, all users can use the context menu.

While the slide show is playing, you can right click or press and hold on the slide show to have the settings below available.

For a Windows 11 version of this tutorial, see:
