the My Pictures Slideshow ScreenSaver

[Guest John]

hello. i am wondering if it is possible somehow to change the order that the

my pictures slideshow screensaver displays pictures. by default it seems to

display them in some kind of random order. i would really like to change

that. sometimes the order repeats a photo thats already been shown. this is

slightly annoying if i have a hundred photos or something. i know that on the

settings page for this screensaver, there isnt a place to specify display

order. isnt there some way to specify order, like even a registry entry?

 

i would like to have them ordered either by filename, or date created.

 

thank you

This free one has random or sequential displays.

hello elmo,

 

thanks for telling me about the alternate screensaver, but i was not posting

in the newsgroup asking for a replacement, or where online i could find

something better. i was asking specifically about the photos screen saver

that comes with windows xp. can you answer my questions, or no?

 

thanks
