    Screensaver slideshow - file path


    In older versions of Windows, there used to be a "screensaver settings" button that let you optionally show the file path of the photo being displayed the only realistic way to find it when you have thousands of them. Is there still a way to do this in the current version?It is annoying when "upgrades" remove functionality, whatever other genuine improvements there have been. :Running on a desktop computer, not a mobile device.

    :)

    Screensaver slideshow does not display correctly whith dual monitors set to "extend desktop"

    Hi Tom,

    Since you've already checked the Screen Saver Settings, kindly answer the following question for clarification:

    • Have you tried turning off the second monitor while assigning the screensaver slideshow to the primary monitor?
    • Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the screensaver?

    We also suggest that you make the screensaver slideshow to appear first at the primary monitor properly before troubleshooting with the second monitor.

    Kindly get back to us for clarification.

  3. How to put photo location of screensaver slideshow in windows 10

    You can slow down the Slideshow after choosing Photos in Screensaver at Control Panel>Personalization>Screensaver Same for the more modern Desktop Backgrounds slideshow.

    But I've not seen an option for having file name on screen since XP. The closest I can find to applying that to Windows 10 is mentioned by Richard Morten in

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Screensaver slideshow - file path :)
