Welcome to the XBMC forums.

You can create an autoexec.py file in your userdata (wiki) directory with the following contents:
Code:
import xbmc

xbmc.executebuiltin("SlideShow(C:\Path\to\your\slideshow\pictures\folder\)")
where C:\Path\to\your\slideshow\pictures\folder\ should be substituted with the actual location where you've stored the pictures you wish to display in your startup slideshow.

artrafael,
Would you happen to know how to accomplish this same goal wit the xmbcbuntu load? I have a memory stick loaded with xbmcbuntu for use as the operating system for a laptop to digital photo frame conversion. I wasn't able to locate the userdata directory Sad
