Default Changing powerpoint file seamlessly in kiosk mode

Hi,

I have got powerpoint viewer 2010 running a presentation as a slide show.

I want to be able to overwrite the powerpoint file with a file of the same name but different presentation using remote copy and have the slideshow go seamlessly to the new presentation.

When running the viewer and copying over a new file I need to restart it to pick up the new file.

I tried linked presentations with ordinary powerpoint (not the viewer) but when trying to copy over a new file it will not allow it because it is in use. And even if this did work with powerpoint, powerpoint viewer tells me it does not support the opening of linked or embedded objects.

Any ideas on how to do this ?

Thanks Paul.
