So i have these Magic Info Pro (samsung) Software, and i installed on a remote screen the Power Point Viewer.
But every time it starts, i have the titlebar.

My boss wishes that this bar dissapears.
So i see that it is possible to right klick while PPT is running and go to FullScreen Mode.

I also found that it is possible to execute PPT like.

C:/PowerPoint Viewer/ /F C:/welcome.ppt

And this would do exactly what we wish.

But MagicInfo is executing this Presentations, and i cant change the code of this software.
So is there a way, to let a program (in my case PPT) start in Windows, with spezific parameters? Like the /F? (it is ok if it would start every time with that parameter since this computer is really just a node where content is saved)

I had the same problem and I'm using Window 7 Embedded and Powerpoint Viewer 2010.
If you are using Powerpoint Viewer 2010, you will have to install Office 2010 SP1 otherwise the presentation won't loop.

Add the switch /f to the registry keys

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.Show.11ShellShowCommand 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.Show.12ShellShowCommand

It's probably not needed to edit both keys but I'm not sure which one is used.

The Default parameter for the registry keys should look something like

C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14pptview.exe /f "%1"

I had to add the /f flag to the following keys to get PowerPoint Viewer to open in full screen.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.SlideShow.11shellShowcommand

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.SlideShow.12shellShowcommand

The suggestions in the accepted answer didn't work for me.

FYI it looks like these registry settings re-set themselves (maybe after updates?). Here are the contents of a regfile to easily re-apply:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.Show.11shellShowcommand]

@="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\pptview.exe /f "%1""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.Show.12shellShowcommand]

@="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\pptview.exe /f "%1""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.SlideShow.11shellShowcommand]

@="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\pptview.exe /f "%1""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTPowerPointViewer.SlideShow.12shellShowcommand]

@="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\pptview.exe /f "%1""

Microsoft PPT has the ability to save your powerpoint as a Windows Media Video (WMV) which can be initiated on startup in full screen mode and looping. It maybe a bit resource intensive but it's a quick fix
