Picture viewer question.

Hey guys.

I want to know if there is a picture viewer that you can scroll around the picture at its original size with the arrow keys because the Windows 7 photo viewer sucks. *Frown

In MS Paint you can scroll around the pictures at the original size, but you can't go to the next pic in the folder.

Does anyone know a good picture viewer that can do the above stuff. Thanks. *Toast :toast:

 

you need more than one picture to show error with Lock screen Slideshow

Hi Microsoft Community,

I had this issue for years and did not find any solution: workaround with Win+L, Indexing, etc... nothing was working.

But the solution is quite simple: store the folder you want to use for the picture for your slideshow directly under the Picture Library. Check that the files are indexed, and then select this folder.

To be 100% clear

1. Open the Pictures Library (User/Pictures)
2. Create a folder "Slideshow"
3. Populate the folder with picture you want to use for Lock Screen
4. Check the pictures are indexed
5. Go to Settings/Personalization/Lock Screen
6. Select Slideshow for Background
7. Choose Folder "Slideshow" created in step 2
8. remove other folders
9. Open Advanced slideshow settings
10. Turn "Only use pictures that fit my screen" Off
11. Enjoy your slideshow!

 

I can get only single pictures using picture gallery slideshow
