Use Your Pictures As A Screensaver

If you have a picture or graphic that you’d like to use as a screensaver, here’s how you do that:

  • Ensure you have a copy of the picture on your computer (save it to a unique folder and note which one)
  • Right click on an empty spot of the desktop
  • Click ‘Properties’
  • Choose the ‘Screensaver’ Tab
  • In the Screensaver scroll box, click the arrow and go to ‘My Pictures Screensaver” (or Sideshow)
  • Select the ‘Settings’ button
  • Select the ‘Browse’ button
  • Go to the location on your computer where you’ve saved the picture you want to use
  • Click ‘OK’
  • Click ‘Apply’
  • Click ‘OK’

If you want to have a slideshow of various pictures for your screensaver, just save a few pictures in the same folder and tweak the settings to your liking.
