ASAAR...
Thanks for the help. I listed the CD drive (which took me a minute to
figure out how to do as I can't remember the last time I used the dos
prompt). I found that the pictures are listed on the CD numerically by file
name by the first numeral. I named the files 1.jpg, 2.jpg...10.jpg,
11.jpg...20.jpg, 21.jpg, etc. for a total of 30 files. When the pictures
were put on the CD they were put in order
1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21, etc. and this is the order in
which they are displayed on the Sony DVD/CD player. So...if I rename the
files I should get them displayed in the order I want.
Thanks again!
