I have a folder in “My Pictures” that holds all of my family pictures. Within it I have a folder for each year, with multiple subfolders. All together the “Family” folder has 19,000 files in 500 folders & subfolders. I’ve set Windows XP “My Pictures Slideshow” screensaver to pull from the Family folder. My problem is that I never see pictures from the 2006 or 2007 folders.
Here are my guesses why:
* My 2000 to 2005 folders have just over 10,000 files, maybe it only draws from the first 10K.
* My 2000 to 2005 folders have 268 folders (including subfolders), maybe it only draws from the first 256 folders.
We love to watch the screensaver, often even over TV. How can I get it to draw from more folders?
Do you use and recommend an alternative screensaver program that won’t kill performance when not on?
(Yes, I have Googled this, but haven’t found an answer.)
Thanks,
eskimo

I'm kinda curious myself... anyone know of a good program?
