Okay Bob. Thank you for taking time to help me with this. I'm trying not to get frustrated here. So I when I get to step 3, it is different than your example, nonetheless I get a menu of folders. My "pictures" folder is on left side, but menu does not give me that option. Pics are on desktop folder and I click on that thinking I need to open that. It says on top "add folder" but pics folder is NOT among options. But it is on left. Playing backgrounds is "checked". So that is okay. Okay, Breaking News!! I think I got it!!! Have no idea what I did. But pics are now showing up in screen saver!!! Yippy!! So is there a way to adjust speed? I may come back but I think I got it!! Whewwwwww. Well, maybe I don't have it. Let it set for a minute w/o touching it and it went to clock on desktop.Hi Snort,
Rather than tell you how to get a Desktop Slideshow...I'll show you...
1. Create a Folder in the Home folder...I'll call it Slideshow and put in your pics etc and close it and the Home Folder.
