kiosk mode but not loop

I want my presentation to be in kiosk mode, but I don't want it to loop. I
want it to go through once and finish. Because the loop until 'esc' button
is grayed out under kiosk mode, i can't change it. can anyone help me out?

Navigation in kiosk mode is (usually) by action buttons. Simply make the one
on the last slide "end show" . Save as a powerpoint show if you want a smooth
end.

What is the purpose of doing this in kiosk mode? Could you uncheck the box
for Advance on Click under Slide Transitions instead of using Kiosk mode?
Could have a button on the last slide that quits and not have the last
slide automatically advance? If you tell us what you are trying to
accomplish, we might be able to suggest alternatives.

If you want VBA code, you could use:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Exit

OR
Application.Quit

Without VBA, right click on the button, go to Action Settings, and choose
Hyperlink to, and select End Show from the drop down list.
