How do I start an open PowerPoint Slide Show from VBA without specifying the file path. i.e. just run whatever open slide show is associated with PowerPoint ?

@Vivek @kumail @Ricardo The script is a VBScript. To run this, you copy the code from the blog article. Save the copied code with a .vbs file extension (you can paste it into Notepad, and when you save it, make sure that you are viewing file extensions (by default Windows hides file extensions). You will need to ensure the extension is .vbs and not the default .txt. Once you have done this, you can simply double-click the script, and it will run the PowerPoint presentation. This is not run from inside PowerPoint. If you are interested in automating PowerPoint, using macros, please check out the office developers center on MSDN.

please tell us whether this script has to be inserted in head section or body section and whether to use script type tag or script language tag.
