Screensaver

[Trevor Lawrence]

How can one set the screensaver to use a particular folder for its slideshow

On my PC, "My Pictures Slideshow" works fine, pointing to "My Pictures" but
I have very little in that folder because I store all my pictures on another
drive.

On my wife's laptop, "My Pictures Slideshow" points to a location which no
longer exists - it is another computer name and folder
(\\Trevor-ymo7ec4cd\my pictures). This may be a consequence of the fact that
this laptop was networked to my desktop. But when I bought a new desktop, I
did not recreate the network. The computer name referred to by the laptop's
"My Pictures Slideshow" is that of the old PC (\\Trevor-ymo7ec4cd\)

Click the Settings button (within Display Properties, Screen Saver tab)
and browse to another folder.

IIRC, I don't have the option to select my own folder, only one of several
preset screensavers and "My Pictures"

Yep, thank you

I wonder whether you could also tell me what shortcut I should set up so
that I can invoke screen saver at any time - not just after the specified
delay
