I was wondering how I can make a script load powerpoint file, advance slides automatically and put it on full screen. Is there a way to make windows do that? Can I just load powerpoint.exe and maybe use some sort of API/Pipe to give commands from another script.
To make a case: I’m making a script that automatically scans a folder in windows (using python) and loads up the powerpoint presentations and keeps playing them in order.
One solution for you would be to use the PowerPoint Viewer program instead. PPT Viewer is set to open a PowerPoint file straight away in Presentation mode.
Alternatively, you can use the argument /s to start Powerpoint.
This will be equivalent to telling PowerPoint to straight away open up in Presentation mode.
