Proposed Windows Photo Viewer and dual monitor slideshow

    Why does Slideshow only works on a main display?

    why can't i move Photo Viewer to the secondary monitor then start slideshow there? if i do that in Win7 RC the secondary display will turn all black and the main one will start the slideshow.

    start slideshow, make fullscreen. to shift which monitor it displays on hold Window Key+Shift and tap either the left or right arrow (depending on which side your secondary is configured to, default is right) (left for left config, right for right config<default>).

    that seems to have worked for me, but the inactive screen is still blackened, do you think the photo viewer doesn't fully support dual monitors? I also noticed the picture is the same display size as the primary monitor, as in whatever size is is during a slideshow on the primary is the same when switched to the secondary.

    I could juy st tap the window key to get the primary back, but then the unused portions of the secondary revert to the background...this seems like a strong candidate for a windows update that actually changes the way the OS works... can I has some cash now?

    i checked - by pressing "Window Key+Shift and tap either the left or right arrow"
