Create a Screensaver

Create a Slideshow Screensaver

There's an easy way to set up a screensaver using your own photos, and it's built right into Windows XP! Just follow these instructions to get your computer to display a slideshow whenever you are not using your computer.

Photos in JPG format about the same size as your screen resolution will work fine.

• Collect your favorite photos into a folder called "MyScreensaver".
• Starting with your Windows Start button or screen button, select:
  START >> Settings >> Ctrl Panel >> Display >> Screensaver
• In the screensaver drop-down list, select My pictures slideshow
• Click on Settings, and find the folder with your photos
• Click OK
• Click Preview to see what it looks like. Any mouse movement or key stike will stop it and return to your desktop.
• Change the time before the screensaver starts!
