Changing Picture Duration

I need to change the picture duration in Windows Movie Maker 2.1. I have
about 85 pictures imported already. I need to change those pictures'
durations. If I click 'Tools-Options' and change it, it will apply only
on pictures I import later. I need to change what is already imported.
It will take to long to re-import them because they are located all over
my 2 hard drives.

Thank you for any help.

=================================
If you place your pointer on a selected image
in your timeline...you can move the pointer
until you see a double red arrow...

Dragging this arrow will change the duration...
you'll see a tool tip that shows the change.

It may be quicker to reimport these pictures with shorter duration in the
Tools->Options->Picture Duration.

However if it is not an option then see this thread. A user reported he was
able to automate the task of chaging the title options using a macro
utility. may be this can be used to automate changing picture durations too
(i.e. to record the method described by John Inzer)
