Where is my ScreenSaver filed?

[billurie]

Usung XP/SP2 and Microsoft Plus! for XP
(NOT Media Edition)......I set my screen
saver long ago to be a slide show. What shows in the
window when I go Control Panel>>Display>>Screen Saver
is Plus! My Pictures ......

I want to change the pictures in the slide show.....
Can you lead me to where that file is? Thanks

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
Settings button | Browse button | Browse to whatever folder you want to use
for the slide show

Hi Wesley,

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
Settings button | Browse button | Browse to whatever folder you want to
use
for the slide show

I tried that on my XP-Pro-2002-SP2 system logged on as a member of
Administrators. I got the rebuff from the Settings buffer: "The screen
saver has no options you can set."

I do have some Power options set, e.g. Hibernate. Could they be interfering
with Screen Saver features?

Regards,
Richard

For some reason that just popped into my head when I read the post.

I can't help it, I grew up as a TV kid.

Yes, Pall Malls! I couldn't think of the name. My Uncle's hired hand
used to smoke Pall Malls.

Did you have your screensaver set to "My Pictures Slideshow" before clicking
on the settings button? Some screensavers have no optional settings, ie:
blank screensaver.

Hi Wesley,

Did you have your screensaver set to "My Pictures Slideshow" ...

No. Like an idiot, I had it set to "WindowsXP," so it's no wonder that
it didn't have any settings to modify! I never heard of the Slideshow, but
now that you pointed it out to me, I saw it. Of course, I have no
pictures set up to be displayed, but I'll be able to do it in good time.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me.

Best wishes,
Richard
