Windows 10: Clarifying "Adding" a photo or photos to an existing Theme Pack - 2018 cont'd

Background: I found information back in 2010 related to Win 10, but the discussion is now LOCKED.

I wanted to clarify the instructions provided in 2010 to same question:

"Right click the Desktop and select Personalize. Select the Theme that you want to change.

Click the desktop Backgrounds item (lower/left).

If you placed the pictures in a folder under Web\Wallpapers, the pictures will be displayed in a section of the view window. If you placed the pictures in another location, click the Browse Button and navigate to the folder where they are located.

Select each picture that you want to add.

Click the Save Changes button.

You can save the Theme with a new name, if you wish.


2018 Issue:

I was trying to add some more photos to an existing free Theme Pack from Microsoft and I didn't see Desktop Background to click. See screen shot below.

I tried to copy more files from the file C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\NASA Space.theme to get more photos to show up? The way to do it is to click BACKGROUND which is not on the lower/left.

Then you can add any photo from the folder you created.


Hope this helps.

New Memorex Mirror for Photos Simplifies Photo Backup

Today’s consumers are looking for simple technology solutions that allow them to swiftly and safely back up their ever-growing digital photo collection. With a quick, one-time software installation, the Memorex Mirror for Photos external hard drive automatically backs up photos when connected to the computer without having to open numerous settings, dialogs or having to navigate multiple menus.

Mirror for Photos is a fast, smart and maintenance-free method of backing up photos and takes the guesswork out of protecting one’s precious memories. Its built-in software automatically runs each time the device is connected to a PC or MAC, finds photos and backs them up. This eliminates the hassle of manually backing up photos each time they are uploaded on a computer. A unique monitoring feature detects when new photos are present and reminds the user to connect Mirror for Photos.





“As people’s digital libraries continue to grow, they understand how critical it is to preserve those moments, yet are often intimidated with the notion of backing up,” said Jess Walton, Memorex brand manager. “Mirror for Photos provides even non tech-savvy users with a quick, simple and maintenance-free method for backing up and protecting precious memories.”

Mirror for Photos’ compact, space-saving design – at 3x5x1/2 inches – also eliminates the need for power cords, thanks to its simple USB-bus powered connection. The product’s user-inspired packaging also boasts easy-to-understand icons that convey product features, attributes and applications.

Memorex Mirror for Photos is available in three sizes, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB, or an estimated capacity of 64,000, 100,000 and 128,000 high-resolution photos* respectively. Mirror for Photos (320GB model) is currently available at Toys“R”Us. Suggested retail prices for capacities are:

• $79.99 for the 320GB Mirror for Photos
