I have been having a problem with the my pictures slide show.
Currently when a user is logged in the slide show screen saver points
to a folder I created in the windows directory. The problem occurs
when the user logs out. I have set the default user to use the
ssmypics.scr in the registry but it always points to C:\Documents and
Settings\User\My Documents\My Pictures folder. With the user being
whoever last logged off the machine. Is there a place in the registry
where I force the slide show to point to a different folder. I am
using Windows XP.
Thanks in advance
Matt
 
Example follows. Take a look at:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow"

and use that as an example to create a similar entry under the default user profile.
