does anyone know how to make a powerpoint presentation reset it self if left alone for a set time?

eg if left alone for 5mins reset to slide 1

A Kiosk presentation or a rolling slide show?

If the latter then you would set the timings of each slide and loop.

If the former then I'm thinking about it...

From PP 2000 Help...
"Self-running presentations are a great way to communicate information without having to have someone available to run a slide show. For example, you might want to set up a presentation to run unattended in a booth or kiosk at a trade show or convention. You can make most controls unavailable so that users can't make changes to the presentation. A self-running presentation restarts when it's finished and also when it's been idle on a manually advanced slide for longer than five minutes."

....also......

"Automatic or manual timings You can set up a slide show to run by itself with automatic timings, or you can set it so that users can move through the show at their own pace by using the mouse to click action buttons."
