Windows 7 desktop backgrounds multiple folders

Right clock picture folder 2. Include the folder you want to add. This is stupid. The Windows 8 how-to videos are just all music and mouse pointer. So Top Rated Photos is just a useless name with nothing that can be saved into. The Help manual is also pretty superficial and cheesy. How is that for choice?!!! No wonder some of us get angry! Windows 8 is trying to insinuate that programmers, and computers know better or more than their customers, and that really and truly stinks!

This option only lets you select one folder. My photos are organised in lots of folders and I want to do a slide show using multiple folders. This worked in Windows 8 but I can't find an option to do it in Windows Any advice, or have Microsoft arbitrarily removed the feature?

Is this possible in Windows 10? Generally, no. The selection mechanism lets you pick a specific folder to use. You can move the images in question into that folder. This should be consistent with the slideshow behavior from Windows 8.

If you want to use the "old" interface, you can use that from. Using either interface you could potentially make a Pictures library view that has what you want, but it's not a readily available feature currently that I'm aware of.

There was a workaround in 8 that's just not available here. Please make it possible to allow the slideshow to draw from subfolders in the chosen folder, so it's choosing from all the categorized pictures in my picture album, not just the parent folder.

Let's talk our way through this. Generally there's only a new front-end. The wallpaper code itself still functions exactly the same. I'm sure I am among about ten million others who have their photos arranged into subfolders rather than dumped into one folder. I can't use the desktop photo background in Win 10 for this reason. It would also be nice to have a photo slide show screensaver like we used to have in Media Center. That worked beautifully.

The slideshow core is nearly exactly the same as it was in Windows 8, which is itself mostly the Windows 7 engine improved for multi-monitor support, among other then-new coolness. Generally it should still have all available functionality except in a view limited cases. The lock screen slideshow is mostly the new version of the Media Center screensaver: you might want to check that out if you haven't already. On my desktop PCs running win 7, I had set the background to "slideshow" and selected my Pictures library as the "folder".

Win 10 will only show pictures from one folder no subfolders , usually only about 10 pictures in my case. This worked in Windows 8 and seems to have been removed in Windows How can you do this in Windows 10?
