MY PICTURES SCREEN SAVER (WINME)
Windows ME added a folder called My Pictures, where you
can store the photos you scan in, or acquire in another
way if you don't have a scanner. You can construct a
screen saver which gives you a slide show of these
pictures randomly. To do so: right click the Desktop,
select Properties from the menu, and then select the
Screen Saver tab. Under Screen Saver, click the list box
down arrow to give you a list of screen savers; then
select My Pictures Screen Saver.
While there, you can also adjust the number of minutes
before your screen saver kicks in after no keyboard or
mouse activity. You can also adjust the sliders that say
how often the pictures should change and how large they
are. If you have your pictures in another folder than My
Pictures, you will need to click the Settings button,
then the Browse button, and then navigate to the folder
containing your pictures. Finally, click OK.
