Question: My computer uses Windows XP. When employing Fuji, Photoshop Elements, FinePix Viewer, etc., I edit and rearrange two hundred or more photos. However, when I burn them on a CD using Nero (for TV slide shows) it rearranges them in crazy ways I don’t want! What can I do?
NOCCC: There are a number of things you can do. If you are using the retail version of Nero, and select “Burning ROM,” you can create a video CD that will not rearrange your sort order. If you use Nero express, the simplest thing to do is rename each of your files and precede the name with a sequential number. The default sort order on the computer is by Name. Windows explorer allows you to change the sort order by clicking on the name at the top of that column: Name, Size, Type, or Date Modified. Windows Explorer allows you to add additional descriptive columns which you can also sort by.
Since you are running Windows XP, another solution would be to download the FREE Photo Story 3 program from Microsoft. It allows you to create very nice slide shows. It also lets you place the slides in the order you wish – and they stay that way. You can pan and/or zoom on a slide to liven up your slide show. It offers multiple transitions between slides, and allows you to add captions, music, and voice over. I have used it and recommend it. You can download it at HERE.
