Default Using My Pictures as Screensaver

Hello! I enjoy have my pictures be my screensaver but would like to make it
so some specific folders don't show. My sister wedding pictures are
dominating my slideshow. Any pointers?

Move the pictures you don't want to show up into a completely different folder - not under
"my pictures".

Right-click on the Desktop and choose Properties. Click the Screensaver tab. With "My Pictures Slideshow" selected, click Settings. In the resulting dialog, you can set the source folder location accordingly.

Copy or move the pictures that you want in the slide show to another
folder.

Open Display Properties and go to Screensaver tab

Select "My Pictures Slideshow" as the screen saver and select
"Properties"

Look for "Use pictures in this folder" and click on "Browse" then find
your new folder and select that as the one to use.

Alternatively you could just move your sisters wedding out of your "My
Pictures" folder.
