    deleting photo from random slide show screen saver


    I have many thousands of photos and use them all in my Random Slide Show Screensaver. But occasionally one pops up that I REALLY want to delete. On my old computer, the file name and path showed in the upper left corner, so I could easily find it and delete it. But the path and name no longer show and I have no idea if there is some way I can easily locate a random photo so I can delete it.

    :)

    Truly random screen savers


    I use the Firehand Ember screen saver (company no longer exists sadly as it still my favourite photo viewer so I can't ask them) and it draw images from my database of photos - thousands of them! It means that we occasionally get treated to slide shows of photos we haven't looked at for years.

    The problem however is that the selection is not truly random. It seems to have a preference for certain photos or groups of photos, so the random function is not truly random.

    Is there a better screen saver or alternatively a way of ensuring it is random.

  3. Rotating/Slide Show Screen Saver for Windows 10

    Dear "KA",

    The above works well, however, before the recent Windows 10 upgrade, the slide show from my Pictures folder combined (at random it seemed) many photos so that they filled the screen in an "album" fashion.

    This was a good way to see many photos at once. However, after the recent upgrade I have lost this facility and can only generate single photos. How can I (re)activate the multiple photo-album-type slide show?

    Screen Saver Slide Show Full Screen

    I have a screen saver slide show created with my own personal photos. Up until this past Sunday, the slide show has always been full screen. Now it is showing photos in slide show with a 2 1/2 inch black bar on each side of photo.

    Would like to know how to get my screen saver slide show back to full screen. Have tried changing resolution but that changes everything but photos in my screen saver slide show.

    This change seemed to happen after an update on Sunday, December 17. The update was for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KF4058043).

    Would appreciate any help to resolve this issue.

    Thank you
