Re: Looping Presentations

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Are you able to start applications on the remote machine? If not, you can
use PsExec from Sysinternals:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsExec.html - it can start
applications on remote machines.

When the updates to the presentations are done, we can now:
1. Quit/Kill PowerPoint application running on remote machine.
2. Upload the new presentations.
3. Start the new presentations.

Does this help?
