    I have a lot of photos that I need to randomize to make a slide show for the team I coach. I do not want all of the photos of the same kid to be together. I can sort by name, date, etc,. but does anyone know a simple way to put the files in a folder (jpegs) in a random order?
    Thanks in advance!

    IrfanView (Excellent freeware image viewing and processing software) includes a slide show tool. This lets you manipulate the order that image files are shown. It also has a randomise option.
