I have no idea how good this is but it seems to be a popular download and I think it will do what you want. :)

nice but will only load photos from on the phone, i'm looking for some thing that will do a slide show from a selected folder on the home network.
(pc in office has folder "shared" and tablet can be set to slide show them pics on camand or even as screen saver..

Hi Hexhunt: Not sure if these will take you a step closer to your goal.
There is a well reported android app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... rch_result
that will give you access to your PC via your tablet but needs to use a virtual Network Computer.
I don't know a lot about setting up VNC's but here is someone who does http://www.realvnc.com/vnc/

Just to satisfy my curiosity, is it essential that you make things work using your tablet or are you just using that as a device to connect the output to a flat-screen TV?

Nice, I alreadys have TightVNC on the PC, it is soo handy,

The hole I dear is that the photos are on my pc - I would liek to leave my tablet on all the time and pulged in charging - while this is charging I would like to use the display as a slide show.

I am seting up xbmc on my pc upstares (plays to my TV), and I have made the tablet in to the remote - so while I am not using it (and it will alwasy be left on) it will play a slide show.
