AVD Slide Show is a nice utility you can use to easily view a sequence of images as a slide show, each image being shown for some predetermined time before going on to the next. You just point it to a file in folder, say how long to display each picture, select transition effects and then sit back and enjoy. If a picture is too large or less for your screen, it is resized to fit keeping the aspect ratio.
