Use your pictures as a screen saver in Widows 7

You have a nice collection of pictures or photos that you want to use as your screen saver? This is very easy to do in Windows 7. All you have to do is put your pictures in one folder and enable the screensaver. Simply follow the instructions below.

• Open Windows Explorer (or use My Computer or press Windows + E)
• To use the photo screen saver, all pictures must be in the same folder. You can use an existing folder, or you can create a new one like I did.
• I'm going to create a new folder in the Pictures library
• Right-click on the Pictures library and select 'New => Folder'
• Enter a folder name: e.g. 'Pictures for screensaver'
  
• Now copy all your pictures into the folder. Within this folder, you can organize your photos into subfolders. the photo screen saver will also display pictures that are in the sub-folders
• Close Windows Explorer

Ok, so now it's time to tell Windows to use this folder as your screensaver.

• Right-click on your desktop and select 'Personalize'
• In the bottom right, click on 'Screen Saver'
• On the screen saver settings page, click the selection box and select 'Photos' from the list
• Click on 'Settings'. This is where you can select the folder to use and set other options.
  
• Click on 'Browse' and select the folder you want to use (in my case, I select the 'Pictures for screensaver folder in the Pictures library).
• Select the 'Slide show speed': Slow = 10s; Medium = 5s and Fast = 3s
• If you don't want to see the photos in order, select 'Shuffle pictures'
• Click Save
• You can set the waiting time or click preview to test your screen saver
  
• Click OK

Now you can enjoy your photos as a nice screen saver.
