This little program starts MediaShout, waits for any thumbnails to be generated, and then fires the first cue automatically. Just download this program to your desktop, and double-click to manually start. No installation required.

By using MediaShout script control cues, you can then run your presentation automatically - using MediaShout's control cue options - skip, jump, loop, etc.

You can use this to run a MediaShout presentation in an unattended "Kiosk Mode" by using Task Scheduler to run "AutoStart Media Shout.exe" whenever Windows starts. Even if there is a power outage, your presentation will automatically startup and run when power returns (set Windows for unattended startup).

You can use Windows Task Scheduler* to run this program at a scheduled date/time and then it will start your presentation for you automatically. For example, you could have it start up at 8:00AM every Sunday, etc. Windows Task Scheduler allows you to setup Multiple schedules - eg: Sunday at 8:00AM, 11AM, 6PM , Friday at noon, etc.

*Windows Task Scheduler: In XP, open Control Panel and click on  "Scheduled Tasks" & then click on "Add Scheduled Task" . In Vista, click on "Control Panel" -> "Administrative Tools"->"Task Scheduler" and then add "AutoStart Media Shout.exe" as a scheduled task.
