    AFAIK you will need some 3rd party software to do this.

    A google search using making screen saver software turned up lots of information.

    IF you want to use some of your Pics as a screen saver use WinXP Pro's "My Picture Slideshow ".

    Right-Click Desktop->Left-click Properties->ScreenSaver Tab->My Picture Slideshow.

    All's you need to do is tell it where your pics are (default is C:\My Documents and Settings\ "username "\My Documents\My Pictures) located. Just click the Settings button and fill in what you want it to do.

    I have collected many a "Wallpaper" over the years and I keep them all in one folder so I just pointed it to there.

    Sorry about that :( ******* up again. For some stupid reason I thought that you had WinXP. DOH!!

    You can dowload a great tools called WSlider.exe from...

    http://www.webattack.com/Freeware/system/fwutilities.shtml

    From the page:

    Wslider will reside in your tray and randomly change the wallpaper at a given interval using a local file or an image from the internet. You can set the interval, change all kinds of settings, or force a wallpaper to change from the tray icon. You can also turn off the "slideshow" setting and just right click and have it change the wallpaper whenever you feel like it. In addition, it offers special support for WinAmp users, allowing you to change the wallpaper after every song, or to display the currently playing title on the desktop. WSlider supports gif, jpg, bmp, png, pcx, tga, tif, and pcd.
