• If you set the value of the LargeScreenSSToolbarBehavior registry key to 1, the slide show controls are always displayed vertically on the side of the screen that you tapped.

• If you set the value of the LargeScreenSSToolbarBehavior registry key to the default of 2, the placement of the slide show controls changes based on the size of your screen.
