making other folders as screen saver
In Properties>screen saver, my pictures can turn into screen saver. I want to make a folder which is not the my pictures folder as a screen saver. Anyone knows how? I think its just a matter of tweaking the registry.

Well, unless I'm misreading your question, you don't even have to touch the registry. Are you saying you just want the Windows XP screen saver to use pictures out of a different folder other than the "My Pictures" folder? If so, all you do is go to the Properties>Screen Saver area that you mentioned, and you still pick the "My Pictures" option out of the drop-down list. But, over to the right there should be a button called "Settings", and in there is a spot that says something like "Use pictures from this folder". Just put in the information of where the other folder with the pics in it is located and it'll use those instead. Hope this helps and sorry if I misunderstood the question.

Yeah, it IS rather misleading with that title, I think.
