Is it possible to make a link from an external web page that starts the JAVA slideshow with predefined settings? (seconds between pictures, dont preload, etc.)?

Also, can I set defaults for the slideshow so that when people open the slideshow settings page they get MY recommended settings, not what is default out of the box?

i don't think the module accepts parameters from the request, but you could modify it to do so.. modules/slideshowapplet/SlideshowApplet.inc, use GalleryUtilities::getRequestVariables to collect settings from the request and use those in place of the defaults. check the site admin section for anything configurable in the applet settings.
