Question : PowerPoint Viewer 2010 Full Screen Mode by Default
We have a computer that outputs it's screen to a plasma screen in our lobby. We run a powerpoint slideshow (.PPTX) file that runs announcements and general information on a continuous loop.
So that we don't have to buy an office license for that machine, we use the PowerPoint 2010 viewer. However, the new 2010 version (for the first time) has the option of not running the presentation in "Full Screen mode".
My question is
how do I set it to run the file in full screen mode by default?
In previous versions of the viewer (which only had full screen mode), we could put the .pptx file on the network where it could be modified each night, and then when we turn the computer on each morning a shortcut to the file that was in the startup folder would load up the changes.
Now, however, when it runs, it runs "maximized" so we can see the start button, taskbar, and notification area. You have to right click the presentation and choose "full screen" to get it to run in the full screen mode. Since we don't have a keyboard or mouse hooked to the machine, someone has to remote into the machine with VNC to switch it to full screen mode. It's a hassle and an extra step.

As I understand it /S is the switch for silent open (no splash). I think /F is the full screen switch
