Windows 10: Screen Saver using photo files. Is there a way?

I enjoy setting up the screen saver in Win 10 to display all my photos. I set it up for random display. Very often, I get a little square picture that I have figured out is the same little icon that is displayed for the file folder called Photos! Very similar to the one displayed above for "insert image". Is there a way to get rid of that image showing up? I have no idea why it keeps displaying. Thanks for any help.

Screen Saver for use with my photos

I have a great screen saver that I have used for years - Firehand Screen Saver. Unfortunately now that I have come to install it on a new PC it won't recognise the ID and PW required. The guy who wrote and marketed it is no longer trading - the problem with one man businesses!

A remote hope - is anyone else using this screen saver (and its companion photo viewer Ember) and willing to pass on registration information
or
suggest a screen saver I can use with my photos. A search for free ones seems to just produce ones with built in images.

 

screen saver

Hello,

This is how to set photos as your screensaver:

Step 1: Open Settings app. Navigate to Personalization > Lock Screen.

Step 2: Scroll down the Lock Screen settings page to see Screensaver settings link. Click Screen Saver settings link to open the classic Screen Saver Settings dialog.

Step 3: From the list of screensavers available, choose Photos from the drop-down dialog.

Step 4: By default, Windows 10 uses photos saved in the Pictures folder for the screensaver. If you want to change this location, click the Settings button to open Photos Screen Saver Settings dialog.

Step 5: Click the Browse button, select a folder and then click Ok button. Click Apply.

Note: If there are sub-folders under the selected folder, photos in subfolders will be used for screen savers as well. This may help since you want all of your photos to rotate.

You can have as many pictures as you like rotating and if you want to change them, just select a different folder or add and remove as desired to the existing folder.

I hope this helps!

 

screen saver slide show not showing file path or name while screen saver runs

We upgraded from XP. In XP when the screen saver was showing photos it listed the photo title and path to where the photo being displayed was located. Is there a way to turn this on in Windows 10? I have been searching for months now and can not find
a setting allowing this to happen.

Will the Windows 10 screen saver display file names and path as it displays photos?

Thanks.
