I like to have photos from my 'My Pictures' file coming up on my laptop screen as my screensaver however there are some files of photos that I don't want to use.
Is it possible to decide which files are used and which not?
Thanks

I'm still using Windows ME, so what I see on my screen might not exactly match what you've got, but this should be close enough for you to follow:

Put the pictures you want to use for your screen saver into a folder of their own. (The folder can be anywhere you like on your hard drive). Then . .

Why not create a sub-folder and copy `n' paste in the pictures you want to use and then select the photos from that folder only

I think that is my problem Judge ie as far as I know, the pictures which are used for the screensaver come from any of my picture files and I don't know how to tell it to only use photos from selected files. Do you see what I mean?

Right-click on your desktop. Select 'Properties' and click on the 'Screen Saver' tab. Use the pull-down menu to select 'My Pictures Screen Saver'. That will activate the 'Settings' button; click on it. Click the 'Browse' button. Navigate to the relevant folder and click on it. Adjust any other settings you wish to change, then click 'OK'. Click 'Apply' and 'OK'
