    Apparent limitations with the screen saver


    I use personal photos as a rotating screen saver. I have 2 questions. The 1st is can and how do I get the pictures to change more frequently. The smallest interval offered is 1 minute. I'd much prefer 15 - 20 seconds. The other relates to the folder I specify. It only seems to let me specify a specific folder rather than a master folder. As a result, I can't see random pics within sub folders but only the sub folder I specify. For eg. I have folders from a trip to Dubai and another folder from a trip to Argentina. They are both in a master folder. I wish I could get screen saver pictures from both by specifying the master folder containing them but can't get that done??

    :)
