Re: Password command line switch ppViewer

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I'm not sure which you are asking - - how to apply a password, or how to launch
the protected presentations from a menu program? You can apply a modify
password in PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. You can run a presentation with a modify
password in the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer. If your menu is just another
presentation, you can link to the other presentations. If the menu presentation
is running in the Viewer, when the links are clicked, the other presentations
will also run in the Viewer. So, the trick is to launch the menu in the Viewer.
That can be done with the command line:

...\path\pptview.exe ..\path\menu.ppt
